Sheffield's breakthrough came when he starred in the BBC medical drama series Holby City, as heart surgeon Alex Adams from 2000 to 2003. He also played Lancelot in the 1998 television drama Merlin. He had a supporting role in the 2005 film The Wedding Date alongside Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney. Subsequently, he made a cameo appearance in the final episode of Green Wing.
