In May 1998, Marsh portrayed the character Alex Duncan in the British TV programme As Time Goes By, series 7, episode 3 entitled "The New Neighbours". He co-starred with Amanda Burton in The Commander, and guest-starred in the sixth series of the spy drama Spooks in 2007 and the second series of Lewis in 2008.
