Before that he was filming the role of Sir Hugh Persimmon in the Film “Agatha and The Truth of Murder”, Directed by Terry Loane, another Film based on the Alan Warner Novel “The Sopranos”. That Film, “Our Ladies” Directed by Michael Caton-Jones has had its release delayed due to the Pandemic, and “GIRI/HAGI”, an 8 Part Series set in London and Tokyo, Directed by Julian Farino.
