After dating for more than two decades, Toby announced in 2014 that they were taking their relationship forward and getting married in July 2014.
The couple married in a secret location without revealing the actual dates of the nuptials.
Before tying the knots, the husband and wife were involved in a romantic relationship lasting more than two decades. Moreover, the English actor had two daughters with his wife before getting married.

'The Hunger Games' actor lives in Stockwell London with his wife and two daughters.
He does not want his daughters to follow him in acting. Speaking to The Herald in 2016, he expressed that showbiz was a risky business and was tough both physically and psychologically.
He quipped,
"I can think of few riskier jobs than becoming an actress. It’s such a perilous, psychologically demanding job.”
The actor could have been speaking from the experiences of his extended period of struggle from 1992-2005, where he was not only frustrated with the lack of opportunities but also became a subject of ridicule at times.

Toby echoed similar sentiments when he spoke to Isabel Thompson of Vanity Fair back in January 2018.
The actor spoke about the thin line between wanting to tell the younger actors to dream big and, at the same time, advising them to face the reality. He elaborated,
"You should always encourage young people; you can’t not allow people to dream."
Diving further into the precarious position he sometimes finds himself in, he spoke frankly about the odds that stack against the younger actors, simultaneously acknowledging the power of his words. He said,
"But it’s not my job to put them off."
Most recently, the star appeared on the Co Donegal staging of Friel's 1979 monologue-based play Faith Healer, which was showcased at the Friel Fest.
Short Height, Lofty Achievements
The 'Dad's Army' actor rose to prominence after a 13-year struggle in the industry after his portrayal of Truman Capote in his 2006 biopic Infamous.
The movie 'Infamous' made Toby famous and earned him recognition as one of the most excellent actors of the generation.
Since the movie, he has been a part of numerous mega-hit franchises, including 'Harry Potter,' 'Captain America,' and 'Hunger Games.'

The actor's vintage moment came after he characterized Alfred Hitchcock in the TV film 'The Girl' in 2012.
The actor was nominated for the best actor in all the most significant small screen awards, including the Golden Gloves, Prime Time Emmys, and the BAFTA.
In the 2018 British Academy Television Awards, Toby won his first ever BAFTA award for the Best Male Performance in Comedy for his performances on the BBC4 comedy series 'Detectorists.'
Besides his wife and daughters, he thanked the whole crew and cast of the popular BBC4 series. He said,
"It's true but you're only good as the cast that surrounds you."
The actor has always excelled in uglier roles, which has led to suggestions about his being typecasted in a certain role.
With a short height, uneven teeth, and uniquely special facial features, he has mostly played distinctive roles.
One such role that stands out is of Culverton Smith, a wealthy but murder-obsessed philanthropist in the hit BBC series 'Sherlock.'

Writer and actor for the series, Mark Gattis listed Culverton Smith as the darkest villain in Sherlock's history and explained his character,
"Toby is doing something very interesting. He’s an avuncular, funny seeming man with terrible teeth. We’ve given him terrible teeth, which are symbolic of the rot inside him. It’s a great complex, shaded character. You’re not quite sure what the relationship is with him."
As always, Toby is still running miles in his professional journey, gifting his fans with memorable portrayals. And will certainly continue to do so.
He undoubtedly has a net worth in the millions considering all of his incredible performing abilities. However, he hasn't disclosed the exact digits of his net worth to the world.
