McGuire was born in 1987 and brought up in the town of Warwick in Warwickshire.[4] McGuire was educated at Warwick School,[5] a boarding and day independent school for boys in his home town, followed by the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, in Bloomsbury in Central London, from which he graduated with a BA (Hons) in Acting.[6]
Prior to graduation, McGuire had been a member of Playbox Theatre Company, and was involved in minor radio dramas and Shakespearean productions.[7] While still a drama student, he first came to attention[from whom?] for his role in the premiere of Laura Wade's satirical play Posh in which he portrayed Guy Bellingfield, a student member of the "Riot Club", a parody of the Bullingdon Club at Oxford University.[8]
McGuire made guest appearances on a number of BBC shows. He also starred as assistant to Stephen Fry's character in the comedy series The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff, a parody of Charles Dickens' works.[citation needed]
McGuire played Rory in Richard Curtis's film About Time.[9] In May 2016, McGuire played the role of Nunney in the BBC drama Love, Nina. [10]
