 A handsome, Central School-trained actor who came to filmgoers' notice as troubled George Emerson in A Room with a View (d. James Ivory, 1985) and whose subequent career has been mainly conducted in the US - and in some very idiosyncratically chosen British films, such as Gothic (d. Ken Russell, 1986), in which he played the poet Shelley, and Impromptu (US/UK/France, d. James Lapine, 1991), as Franz Liszt. For director Mike Figgis, he played a Latvian pimp in Leaving Las Vegas (US, 1995) and had the lead (more or less) in Figgis's strange, fascinating The Loss of Sexual Innocence (UK/US, 2000).
