Dal 2011 al 2013 ha interpretato il ruolo di Papa Alessandro VI nella serie storica The Borgias. Nel 2019 è apparso nel ruolo di Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias in Watchmen della HBO. È uno dei pochi attori ad aver raggiunto la "Triple Crown of Acting" negli Stati Uniti, vincendo un Oscar per il cinema, un Emmy per la televisione e un Tony Award per il teatro. Nell'ottobre 2011 è stato nominato Ambasciatore di buona volontà per l'Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite per l'alimentazione e l'agricoltura.
