His most recognizable role came as Townes, the quiet rival in Netflix's The Queen's Gambit (2020), a performance that showcased his ability to convey longing through minimal dialogue. He continued this trajectory with roles as Grigory Petrov in The Great (2023), detective Charles Whiteman in Bodies (2023), and, most recently, Brian Epstein in Midas Man (2024).

As a male actor, he works across prestige television and film. Born under Capricorn, Fortune-Lloyd's career reflects that sign's precision and emotional control—he rarely dominates a scene, instead anchoring ensemble pieces with quiet intensity.
