Career

Warren has worked in film, television, theatre and radio. He is a former member of the National Youth Theatre and trained at the East 15 acting school (although he didn't graduate). He began his career with a role in a 1988 production of Godspell which he won by writing to the producers, and went unrepresented until the following year.

Warren can also be heard on numerous television and radio adverts throughout the UK. Contrary to popular belief, Warren does not provide the voice for the animated gecko in the Geico insurance company commercials, which is in fact voiced by British actor Jake Wood.

Warren helped in the production of digital storyboards (as a stand in for Ewan McGregor) in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

He is also known for playing Dougie Raymond in the hard hitting British television series The Vice and Albert Blithe in HBO's blockbuster mini-series Band of Brothers.

He played key supporting character Dominic Foy in the 2003 BBC serial State of Play.

This was a return to the show for Warren, as one of his earliest TV roles was as an uncredited extra in the 1989 Doctor Who story "Battlefield". In December 2006 he appeared as the crazed assassin Mr. Teatime in Sky1's adaptation of Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. The same month he played Count Dracula in a new adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel, produced by ITV Productions for BBC Wales. The TV movie, which aired in December, received viewing figures of 5.23 million.1 In 2007 he appeared as casino-operating villain Tony Crane in the second series of BBC drama Life on Mars.
