Career

Goode may be best known for his role as Mandy Moore's romantic interest in the 2004 film Chasing Liberty. Beforehand, Goode had played the brother of Inspector Lynley in the BBC production Inspector Lynley Mysteries: A Suitable Vengeance and had parts in the TV-movie Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and the Shakespeare play The Tempest. In recent years he has appeared in the films Match Point, Imagine Me & You, Copying Beethoven, opposite Ed Harris and Diane Kruger, and The Lookout. Standing the test of time is his whimsical take on Brooke Burgess in the BBC miniseries based upon Anthony Trollope's "He Knew He was Right."

He is playing the character of Adrian Veidt in the upcoming Watchmen movie directed by Zack Snyder, and possibly his highest profile role to date as the lead Charles Ryder in the 2008 film Brideshead Revisited, the role previously taken by Jeremy Irons in the hugely popular 1980s mini-series. He will star alongside Emma Thompson and Michael Gambon.

He is the face of Hackett, the British Gentleman's outfitters. Hackett also sponsor Jonny Wilkinson.

Vogue announced on the 29th October that he will play a significant role in ex-fashion designer Tom Ford's directorial debut, titled "A Single Man", based on the eponymous novel.
