Career
Fleet is most famous for his roles as the bumbling and well-meaning Tom in the 1994

BBC situation comedy television series
The Vicar of Dibley.

Between 2000 and 2006, Fleet played the painfully upright and decent Captain Brimshaw in

Chambers, which later moved onto television. As of 2005, he's starred as Duncan Stonebridge MP in the topical radio sitcom

Legit.
When Fleet appeared on the quiz show
School's Out, it was revealed that one of his teachers at
Banff Academy had written in his school report that "[James] is the stupidest boy I've ever had to teach, out of all the stupid boys I've ever had to teach", and that he was the only student in his
sixth form not to have been made a
prefect. Despite his apparent lack of scholastic ability, he still won the show.
