He came to public attention for his portrayal of [[New South Wales Police Force]] detective [[Roger Rogerson]] in the 1995 television miniseries ''[[Blue Murder (miniseries)|Blue Murder]]''. Through the 1990s, he appeared in several Australian film and stage productions including a critically acclaimed turn as [[Prince Hamlet|Hamlet]] alongside [[Geoffrey Rush]], [[Jacqueline McKenzie]] and [[David Wenham]] in the 1994 [[Company B (theatre)|Company B]] production at the [[Belvoir St Theatre]] in Sydney. In December 2007, he played the lead character, Roland Henning, who suffered writer's block in [[Michael Gow]]'s play, ''[[Toy Symphony (play)|Toy Symphony]]'', at the Belvoir St Theatre, winning the [[2008 Helpmann Awards|2008 Helpmann Award]] for best male actor in a play.

In 2000, Roxburgh appeared in the first of several international blockbuster films as the main villain's henchman Hugh Stamp in the [[John Woo]]-directed ''[[Mission: Impossible 2]]'', which was filmed in Sydney. Also filmed in Sydney was [[Baz Luhrmann]]'s ''[[Moulin Rouge!]]'' (2001), in which Roxburgh played the Duke of Monroth.

Roxburgh appeared as three iconic characters over the next three years: he played [[Sherlock Holmes]] in 2002's ''[[The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002 film)|The Hound of the Baskervilles]]'', Holmes's nemesis [[Professor Moriarty]] in 2003's ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (film)|The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' and [[Count Dracula]] in 2004's ''[[Van Helsing (film)|Van Helsing]]''.
