In December 2007, he began playing serial killer Niall Rafferty in Channel 4's Hollyoaks, which earned him three award nominations.

In 2010, Sloane appeared in the ITV crime series DCI Banks and later that year, he also played Kieran Callaghan in the BBC One serial medical drama Holby City. In July 2012, Sloane was cast as Aiden Mathis in the ABC drama series Revenge. In February 2014, he joined the cast of ABC's science fiction drama series The Whispers. Sloane portrayed Captain Price in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, for which he was nominated for British Academy Games Award for Performer in a Leading Role,[2] and reprised the role in Modern Warfare II (2022) and Modern Warfare III (2023).

Early life

[edit]

Sloane was born Barry Paul Sloan in Garston, Liverpool. He was trained as a musician and actor before landing his first professional acting role as Ivan in the film In His Life: The John Lennon Story.[3][4][5][6]

Career

In mid-2009, Sloane appeared as Troy Whitworth in Jez Butterworth's critically acclaimed play Jerusalem at London's Royal Court Theatre. The play was given a West End transfer in January 2010. After a record-breaking sellout run, it was announced that the play would transfer, this time to Broadway. He made his Broadway debut in Jerusalem at the Music Box Theatre in New York City on 4 February 2011.

Sloane starred in Joseph Ruben's 2013 thriller film Penthouse North alongside Michael Keaton and Michelle Monaghan.

On 10 July 2012, Sloane joined the cast of the ABC drama series Revenge as Aiden Mathis, a mysterious man with ties to Emily Thorne's past.[7] It was announced on 23 October 2012 that he had been promoted to series regular.[8] On 20 February 2014, it was reported that Sloane had been cast as Wes Lawrence in the ABC alien drama series The Whispers.[9] Sloane continued his role as Zach on Longmire for the 6th, and last, season in 2017.

In 2024, Netflix announced that Sloane will play the role of The Prodigal (also known as Destruction) in the upcoming second season of The Sandman.[10]
