8	* AttractiveBentGender: Played a highly androgynous gay prostitute in Channel 4's critically acclaimed ''Red Riding Trilogy''.
9	* CloudCuckoolander: Can come across this way in interviews, with a trace of LovableSexManiac thrown in - he single-handedly lowered the tone of the 2010 BAFTA awards by repeatedly mentioning porn in every red carpet interview.
10	* FakeAmerican: As Simon in the film version of ''Literature/TheMortalInstruments'' and in ''The Road Within''. He uses an American accent in ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch'' despite it being set in 14th century Europe.

11	* FakeBrit: Goes for an OopNorth twang in ''The Messenger'' and again in ''Film/{{Geostorm}}''.

13	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Many of the characters he plays are this to some extent.
14	* PlayingAgainstType: ''Misfits'' typecast him as wiseasses and quirky characters. In ''Series/LoveHate'', he plays a reformed criminal who is slowly corrupted back into the crime world.
