He is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and later joined the Renaissance Theatre Company. He has appeared in many of Kenneth Branagh's films, most recently as Edward Woolmer in the 2018 film All Is True. Yuill was also the music composer for A Midwinter's Tale and Swan Song.

He is best known for the character Detective Inspector Doug Kersey in the popular British television series Wycliffe.[2] He was in every episode except the last two in Season 5. The series was cancelled after that because Jack Shepherd refused to continue in the title role when the producers had sacked Yuill "for insurance reasons" after he contracted life-threatening meningitis during filming, and then would not reinstate him even though he made a full recovery.

In June 2006, Yuill made his first appearance in EastEnders as the recurring character Victor Brown. In October 2007, he took the lead in Sophocles' Antigone as Creon, King of Thebes at The Tron Theatre, Glasgow.

In 2010, he was nominated for the award of Best Male Performance for his role in a play adaption of the Testament of Cresseid by the Critics Award for Theatre in Scotland.

Yuill has worked as a performance consultant on a number of productions, and also as a producer.
