Parr made his first appearance in the ITV soap Emmerdale in July 2013, playing an unnamed man who carjacked regular character Laurel Thomas (Charlotte Bellamy). It was only after his return to the show in October 2013 that his true identity was revealed. His character, Ross Barton, is one of three sons of James Barton, played by Bill Ward, and the nephew of regular character Moira Barton, played by Natalie J Robb.

On August 6, 2015, it appeared that the character of Ross Barton had been killed off after a violent confrontation with his brother Pete (Anthony Quinlan). Parr even stated on social media that he had left the show, and thanked fans for starting a petition to bring him back to Emmerdale. However, on 25 August it was revealed that Ross was still alive, having survived the attack by Pete. He later sought revenge on his brother for the attempted murder, whilst beginning another affair with Pete's now wife, Debbie.

In October 2015, Parr won awards for Best Actor, Best Bad Boy and Sexiest Male at the 2015 Inside Soap Awards. Emmerdale also won Best Soap.
