Julian starred in a three minutes film for Amnesty International called Everybody. The short which is part animation and part live-action was made for the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and was shown on the website of Amnesty International.
As of June 2008, Julian and his Green Wing co-star Stephen Mangan have been dropped from the Barclaycard television advertisement. The firm has decided to go with a more sober publicity campaign.
(On one of the destination he'd like to visit)Julian: One of my dream trips is to go to the Hermitage in St Petersburg. I went to Poland several times before the collapse of communism, and it was an incredible place. It was fascinating to visit it before and after communism. I would love to have seen Russia during its communist times, and I worry that I should have seen it before.
Julian: (Talking about the adaptations of the Miss Marple's stories) Marples are very exciting if they are done right in a beautifully crafted and gentle way. They are classic stories. I don't read many of the novels, but I was always a fan of the Joan Hickson's Miss Marples. And Geraldine brings her own peculiar brilliance and a youthful exuberance to it after Joan Hickson.
Julian: (On working on the show Keen Eddie) It is great fun you get to do lots of exciting things you always dreamed about when you were a kid watching detective programmes.
