In 2006, Sloane made his West End debut in Willy Russell's Blood Brothers. In December 2007, he began playing serial killer Niall Rafferty in Channel 4's Hollyoaks, which earned him three award nominations.

In 2010, Sloane appeared in the ITV crime series DCI Banks and later that year, he also played Kieran Callaghan in the BBC One serial medical drama Holby City. In September 2011, Sloane was cast as Aiden Mathis in the ABC drama series Revenge. In February 2014, he joined the cast of ABC's alien-themed drama series The Whispers.

Early life

Career

In mid 2009, Sloane appeared as Troy Whitworth in Jez Butterworth's critically acclaimed play Jerusalem at London's Royal Court Theatre. The play was given a West End transfer in January 2010; after a record-breaking sellout run it was announced that the play would transfer once again, this time to Broadway. He made his Broadway debut in Jerusalem at the Music Box Theatre in New York City on 4 February 2011.

Sloane starred in Joseph Ruben's 2013 thriller film Penthouse North alongside Michael Keaton and Michelle Monaghan.
