Background


Hogg, the second of four children, was born in Doncaster and brought up in Sheffield. He went to Wales High School.[2] His mother is a teacher and his father a retired civil engineer.[3] As a teenager, Hogg was a member of several bands,[4] including post-punk group Porno King, in which he was the lead singer.[3] When the band split, he joined an amateur dramatics group, Sheffield MISTCO, with his younger sister, transferring his love of performance to acting.[3][5]


Hogg trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art between 1999 and 2002.[6]


Hogg has stated that his acting hero is Al Pacino and the director who he would most like to work with is Paul Thomas Anderson.


When asked what medium he preferred, Hogg chose theater over film. He was quoted as saying: "I like being in film, I like going to watch a film, and I'm in it, and going 'wow' but, actually, I think doing the physical kind of acting, being on stage, is better. Because it's happening, it's instant, there and then all the time."



Career


Hogg made his professional debut in a production of My Father's Son at the Sheffield Crucible.[5] His other theatre work includes the inaugural production of King Lear at the RSC Academy,[7]Loot at the Bristol Old Vic, and the title role in Woyzeck, both at London's Gate Theatre, and off Broadway.[5] Other credits include Measure for Measure, The Tempest, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot and Rock 'n' Roll. Hogg has also appeared in The Pillowman and Our Class, both at the National Theatre.[8]


On television, Hogg has appeared in Doctors, Heartbeat and Silent Witness. He has lent his voice to the radio dramas Metropolis, Boxing Clever, Serjeant Musgrave's Dance[8] and The Loop.


Hogg made his film debut in Nicholas Nickleby (2002), playing the younger version of David Bradley's character, Mr Bray.[1] He played his first film lead role in White Lightnin' (2009), as Jesco White.[9] Hogg's other film credits include Alfie (2004), Song of Songs (2006), Bunny and the Bull (2009) and the short films Veteran and Shades of Beige.

He also appeared in Ollie Kepler's Expanding Purple World (2010), Isle of Dogs (2010)[1] and Me or the Dog (2011), directed by Abner Pastoll. In 2012 Hogg starred in Tom Shkolnik's debut feature, the drama The Comedian.


Hogg played the part of Segundus in the seven-part miniseries Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, screened on BBC One in 2015.
