In 2013, Payne appeared in the Warner Bros. action film "Getaway". Payne also appeared in the action film "Vendetta" as a sinister Whitehall Mandarin named Mr. Rooker. One reviewer of the film gave it eight out of ten and stated that Payne 'nearly steals the movie with a plum role as the icy head of British black ops'. In addition, Payne portrayed Auschwitz camp Commandant Rudolf Hoess, in a 'superciliously evil' manner, in the French film "Victor Young Perez", which concerns the life of the Tunisian Jew flyweight boxer Victor Perez.
