A fearless six-foot-fourer with a penchant for late-night shenanigans and swashbuckling misadventure, Charles has travelled to six continents, developing his long-standing love affair with travel. For now, his social life and award-winning work keep him co-habiting with his Mrs Smith, Anna Richardson in London. He directed a few episodes of The Smiths: Hotels for 2, but he has since moved into cult youth drama Skins, Being Human, Torchwood and Wallander, Charles is still trying to shake off his original claim to fame: coming up with the eye motif for UK TV monster-hit Big Brother.
