He appeared in the British police drama, The Sweeney, episode 'One of Your Own', as gang boss 'Patsy Kearney'.
In The Bill he played PC Ron Smollett from 1990-1993 who was a likeable, hard working and honest cop.

Stringer has also made two guest appearances in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, in the episodes Go West Young Man, he plays an Australian and in Who Wants to be a Millionaire, he plays Del's old business partner, Jumbo Mills, who developed an Australian accent. He is also noted for his strong performance alongside Zig Byfield in the Minder episode 'The Old School Tie' from Series 2 in 1980 in which they play heavies in what is often claimed to be the most violent episode of the entire ten series.
Stringer lives in Bristol, England, and is married with two children.
