He is perhaps best known for playing the vicar officiating at Charles and Henrietta's abortive wedding in the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral. He died on April 23, 2003 in Surrey, England.

Based on the true story of the 1981 hunger strike in a British prison, in which IRA prisoner Bobby Sands led a protest against the treatment of IRA prisoners as criminals rather than as prisoners of war. The film focuses on the mothers of two of the strikers, and their struggle to save the lives of their sons.
