While filming the fifth Highlander movie Highlander: The Source, Wingfield related his love for Methos:
| “ | And I have to say, the first day of filming was unexpectedly emotional for me. As I put on the long black coat and drove to the set in the pre-dawn gloom, I could feel the presence of an old friend I have not seen for some years now. Really, in a very physical way, I could 'feel' him. And I was overwhelmed, possessed even, by the sense of him, tears welling up in my eyes as I formed the words in my head, over and over again, "Methos is alive." | ” |
From August 2006 to October 2007, he appeared in the BBC medical drama Holby City, playing General Surgical Consultant Daniel Clifford. Wingfield played the recurring role of David Emerson on Season 7 of 24. He also played Dr. Watson on the science fiction series Sanctuary. In 2010, Wingfield starred in the remake of Riverworld, playing Sir Richard Francis Burton. He has had guest roles in Human Target, NCIS: Los Angeles, CSI: Miami, Alphas, and Charmed. He has recently appeared in episodes of Caprica. Work in TV movies include Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge and the Syfy original film Stonehenge Apocalypse.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or work:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
