But the 58-year-old has recently landed himself the role of Sir Hector Blake in brand new blockbuster.

I Came By was released last night on the popular streaming service, but will also be available to watch in select cinemas in the UK,

A young graffiti artist called Toby Nealey (George MacKay) decides to start breaking into wealthy people’s houses.

He gets himself into a bit of trouble when he sees something he shouldn’t have in Hector Blake’s house.

This puts himself and his loved ones in danger.

Thriller fans have already binged the new film, but it seems that the movie has divided opinion.

Many rushed to Twitter to praise the blockbuster and tell others to go and watch it.

One said: “Just watched #ICameBy on #Netflix with @hughbon WOW recommend you all watch this one.”

A second tweeted: “#ICameBy good thriller that kept me wondering if any of the cast would survive to the end. Similar to Bad Samaritan but better. Don’t know how offender thought he’d get away when so many started disappearing. Arrogance and superiority complex evident.”

Another said: “Just finished #ICameBy I watched it in one sitting. This film is very captivating. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I haven’t seen such a compelling thriller film like this in a while aside from Anatomy of a Scandal which is also quite nice. Highly recommended.”

Meanwhile others weren’t so convinced.

One tweeted: “Just watched #ICameBy Pretty good but predictable ending #netflix.”

“Started off sort of okay, but so many plotholes and your judge hasn’t even got a single camera or ring doorbell #ICameBy #netflix,” a second chimed in.

Another said: “I came by was so disappointing. Not one of your finest @netflix Great cast and so much potential. #ICameBy #Netflix.”
