Before starting in the summer of 1999, he played Captain Stanhope in a stage production of R.C. Sherriff's "Journey's End."

During his second term at Cambridge, Hiddleston was cast in his first television role in Stephen Whittaker's adaptation of "Nicholas Nickleby" (2001) for ITV, starring Charles Dance, James D'Arcy and Sophia Myles. During his last two years at Cambridge, he appeared in two television dramas co-produced by HBO and the BBC: "Conspiracy" and "The Gathering Storm," the critically acclaimed and Emmy© Award-winning biopic of Winston Churchill, starring Albert Finney and Vanessa Redgrave, in which he played the role of Churchill's son, Randolph.
