Career

Rigby graduated from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in 2012.[1]

He is best known for his role as Police Constable, later Police Sergeant and Detective Sergeant

New York Times reviewer said Rigby's interpretation of Strange "brings a vulpine grace" to the character.[3]

In the 2017-aired British historical drama television mini-series, Gunpowder, Rigby played William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle, who received a letter, maybe or maybe not self-penned, warning of the Gunpowder Plot.[2][4][5][6][7]

In 2015, Rigby played the security guard Moe in a production of Alistair McDowall's Pomona at the National Theatre, Temporary Theatre, which had previously opened at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond in 2014.[8] The show, which included Rigby as a security guard's "troubled accomplice", was reviewed in The Guardian by Michael Billington, who gave the production three stars.[9] Henry Hitchings of the Evening Standard felt Rigby's character was "especially unsettling".[10]

In 2015, Rigby appeared as Henry in a 13-minute short drama Isabella. In 2017, he starred as the only character in the four-minute short film, Crossing Seas.
