It was a choice I made.”
Dan was praised by fans, and he responded to another who’d written to the star: “Well done Dan! I’m someone who struggles with their weight, so I know what an achievement that is.
There is an expanse of land to look at and take in -- and that is what this film is all about. He played Tom Watson MP, a member of the Labour party and one of the leading lights in the campaign against the News of The World who doggedly campaigned to expose the scandal.
He starred in British independent film 'Misper' which premiered at the 2025 Edinburgh International Film Festival and has recently been announced as a leading cast member in new BBC drama series 'Dear England', based on the Olivier Award winning National Theatre play, due out in 2026.
In 2024 he starred as one of the leads, factory-owner Derek Jackson, in ITV's darkly comic 6-part crime thriller 'Passenger'.
The series also starred David Tennant and Mark Bonnar.
He had an ensemble role in the 2022 BBC drama ‘Four Lives’, which tells the true story of the Barking Murders. Performances were adequate, if clichéd.

2025 also saw him guest star in the second series of double BAFTA-winning sitcom 'Such Brave Girls', playing married man Graham who has an affair with Billie, one of the lead characters. The Dry Land is a film one hates to criticize or put-down as I am afraid the criticism will be misconstrued.
Some are, but many aren't. Look at its "solutions". Look at us. Sometimes we see soldiers in an overly idealistic way, as if they are our patriotic, Christian heroes. I had the opportunity to view The Dry Land at the Dallas International Film Festival in April this year.

A lot of common guys are also trashy.
