Dopo aver debuttato in teatro, alterna il lavoro teatrale con quello televisivo e cinematografico.

(2002) e vari lavori televisivi: Francesco (2002), Giulio Cesare (2002) e L'inganno (2003). Nel 2002 esce il film El Alamein, diretto da Enzo Monteleone, dove interpreta il ruolo di un soldato italiano che, nell'ottobre del 1942, è bloccato presso El Alamein insieme a suoi compagni (Pierfrancesco Favino, Emilio Solfrizzi, Silvio Orlando e Roberto Citran). Grazie alla sua interpretazione, nel 2003 vince il Globo d'Oro come migliore attore esordiente. Successivamente è nel cast di Buongiorno, notte (2003), ancora diretto da Marco Bellocchio, a cui fanno seguito i film Movimenti e Stai con me, entrambi del 2004, Ma quando arrivano le ragazze? (2005) di Pupi Avati, e La terra (2006), regia di Sergio Rubini, per cui ottiene la nomination come Migliore Attore Rivelazione. Tra gli altri suoi lavori, ricordiamo le fiction tv: Giovanni Falcone, l'uomo che sfidò Cosa Nostra di Andrea ed Antonio Frazzi (2006), Caravaggio, Il figlio della luna ed Era mio fratello, e i film: L'abbuffata e Non pensarci, tutti del 2007, ma quest'ultimo uscito nelle sale il 4 aprile 2008. Nel 2009 ritorna nelle sale cinematografiche con i film: La siciliana ribelle, regia di Marco Amenta, Baarìa, regia di Giuseppe Tornatore, Tris di donne & abiti nuziali, regia di Vincenzo Terracciano, La cosa giusta, regia di Marco Campogiani.
