Grant, who holds dual British and Swazi citizenshi­p, began his acting career in South Africa before moving to the UK in the early 1980s. Next year he will be seen starring opposite comic actress Melissa McCarthy in the film Can You Ever Forgive Me? about the celebrity biographer Lee Israel.

Grant will also appear opposite Keira Knightley and Morgan Freeman in 2018 in the Disney adventure fantasy film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
