His filmography suggests British character actor.
Ironically he is going to play the lead role of Jack Regan in a remake of
The Sweeney, of which an episode of the original series was his first credited filmed work. The role in the original was played by John "Inspector Morse" Thaw. I've seen the episode.
I've also seen Ray Winstone in
Scum,
Quadrophenia,
Robin of Sherwood, Bergerac,
Fairly Secret Army,
Auf Wiedersehn Pet,
C.A.T.S. Eyes,
Minder,
Birds of a Feather,
Between the Lines,
Murder Most Horrid,
Space Precinct,
Casualty,
The Bill,
Kavanagh QC,
One Foot in the Grave,
Nil By Mouth,
The War Zone (not a pleasant film),
Darkness Falls,
Sexy Beast,
At Home with the Braithwaites,
Henry VIII,
Cold Mountain and
The Chronicles of Narnia. If you haven't seen at least one of those, then you should just give up pretending you watch anything at all....
