Career


Geere graduated from Guildford School of Acting[2] and began his career on stage opposite Dame Judi Dench in Royal Shakespeare Company’s All’s Well That Ends Well.[3]

Geere portrayed the character of Music and Drama teacher Matt Wilding in the BBC One school-based drama series Waterloo Road. In January 2009, just as the fourth series of Waterloo Road began airing, Geere said that he would not be returning for the fifth series.[4]

Geere broke out to American audiences as Jimmy Shive-Overly, one half of the toxic and self-destructive couple at the heart of Stephen Falk’s critically acclaimed comedy You're the Worst for FX and FXX which received 4 Critic’s Choice nominations including Best Comedy. You're the Worst ran for five seasons from 2014 to 2019.[5]

In 2019 Geere joined the global Pokémon universe as Roger Clifford in Legendary Entertainment/Universal Pictures live-action film Pokémon Detective Pikachu alongside Bill Nighy, Justice Smith and Ryan Reynolds.[6][7]

Geere recurred on ABC’s Modern Family as Haley & then Alex’s love interest Professor Arvin Fennerman;[8] as Joel, the well-meaning but hilariously toxic lead in BBC & Showtime’s dark comedic limited series, Ill Behaviour (TV series), opposite Tom Riley and Lizzy Caplan;[9] Channel 4’s This Way Up (TV series) starring Sharon Horgan and Aisling Bea;[10] The First Team (TV series) with Will Arnett;[11] and on A Million Little Things as Allison Miller’s new roommate/love interest Jamie.[12]

After recurring in season 5, Geere joined the cast of This Is Us as a series regular for their sixth and final season.[13]


Personal life


Geere was born in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. He married Jennifer Sawdon, a singer-songwriter and pianist, in 2010. Their son was born in 2012.[14]
