He receivedd two major awards and ecstatic reviews. Among the cast were Jeremy Irons, Julie Covington and Marti Webb.

Film producer David Puttnam saw him in Godspell and asked him to play the lead in That'll Be The Day, co-starring Ringo Starr, and its sequel Stardust, co-starring Larry Hagman and Adam Faith.
