Long careers are rarer than they look, and David Wilmot has become a familiar face with a career measured in decades rather than seasons. Elsewhere on the filmography sits 'King Arthur'. The oldest credits belong to a different era of the industry. The bulk of the career has been spent in drama. The career has been split between cinema and television rather than settled in either. The film 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' accounts for more of the public profile than anything else does.
