After beginning his career as a child actor, he starred as the titular character of Leonardo, and subsequently appeared in shows such as Broadchurch and Crashing. He gained international recognition when he joined the cast of Bridgerton as Anthony and led its second season in 2022. He currently stars in the Showtime series Fellow Travelers.
He's also known to theatre fans for starring in musicals like American Psycho and revivals of Company (Sondheim) (for which he won the Olivier) and The Last Five Years. Not coincidentally, he was cast as Fiyero in the two-part film adaptation of Wicked.
In addition, he also voiced the Crystal Exarch from Final Fantasy XIV.
Not to be confused with Jon Bailey, a.k.a. Epic Voice Guy.
