Talking about the audition to Wonderland, he stated that he had "no idea" about horse-riding, and that the other person auditioning for the role was "terrific" at it. He was told the day afterwards that he had gotten the role, which he portrayed until 2019.{{Cite news|url=https://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2018/05/01/bruce-herbelin-earle/|title=Bruce Herbelin-Earle|work=Wonderland|access-date=16 August 2020|archive-date=27 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127175603/https://www.wonderlandmagazine.com/2018/05/01/bruce-herbelin-earle/|url-status=live}} In 2018, Herbelin-Earle starred in and was the executive producer of a short film titled Wretched Things. Speaking about the decision to become the executive producer of the project, he said that he "wanted to more to be more involved with the project in an off-screen capacity", and that it "made it more like a collaborative project rather than me just coming in, doing my bit, and heading home". Later that year, he portrayed the role of Harry in the feature film 2: Hrs. Although he initially auditioned for the lead role, he stated that appreciated getting a role in the film regardless. Also in 2018, he appeared in an episode of the BBC medical drama series Casualty.{{Cite episode|title=Episode 44|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bffy0j|series=Casualty|series-link=Casualty (TV series)|credits=Writer: Barbara Machin; Director: Fiona Walton; Producer: Rebecca Hedderley|network=BBC|station=BBC One|airdate=4 August 2018|access-date=16 August 2020|archive-date=5 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190405200614/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bffy0j|url-status=live}} In 2019, he starred in the Channel 5 miniseries 15 Days as Josh, alongside Free Rein co-star Freddy Carter.{{Cite web|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAhy0PlHxQ/|title=The U.K's Channel 5 have a new drama "15 DAYS".
