He never thought The History Boys would be the huge success it was, but felt he ought to accept the role "because it's Alan Bennett".

Dominic has been living with his girlfriend Joanna Carolan, PA to playwright Harold Pinter, for 12 years.

Discovered in 2007 that he had a half-sister he did not know about after she got in touch with Dominic's father after seeing Dominic appear in Down To Earth when her mum said: 'Oh my God, he looks just like your father.'

He maintains that, despite the sadness of his sister's death when she was five and parents' subsequent divorce, his childhood was largely a happy one.

He only stayed on at school for A-levels only because the drama department wanted him to appear in a school play.

Whilst appearing in Part One the theatre adaptation of His Dark Materials as Will, when he wasn't needed on stage, he volunteered to play an armoured bear and a tartar guard both of which were "very hot and very uncomfortable" costumes.

If he had a daemon, it would be a cat.
