In between acting jobs in the 1990s, he also worked as a labourer, office fitter and also at a snooker hall in Barking.
He first appeared in The Bill in three episodes as a guest star in 1992, 1993 and 1995, before joining as a regular cast member in 1999. It was whilst he was acting at the Royal Court Theatre that he was spotted by one of the producers of The Bill and was encouraged to audition for the programme. He joined The Bill as PC Dale Smith, better known as "Smithy" and then left in 2001. In 2003, he returned when his character was promoted to Sergeant. When The Bill was axed in Scotland in 2009 by STV, Walkinshaw was the last person to appear on Scottish screens alongside Sam Callis as Sgt Callum Stone.

On 2 May 2007, he opened a new community police office in Chislehurst, for the Safer Neighbourhood teams from Chislehurst and Mottingham.
In 2008, he was nominated for Outstanding Drama Performance at the National Television Awards. The award was won by David Tennant.
During his time on The Bill as a PC, Walkinshaw met his wife Sarah when she worked as a make-up Artist on the show. They married on 20 June 2009 at the Queen's House in Greenwich, London and live in Kent with their two children.
After The Bill was axed in 2010 by ITV, Walkinshaw admitted that "It was emotional shooting the final scenes" and that he found it "tough" to leave behind some of his co-stars.
In 2011, Walkinshaw was cast in Waterloo Road as PE Teacher, Jeremy 'Jez' Diamond, replacing Paul Nicholls. Following his departure from the show, he joined the cast of Casualty as nurse, Adrian 'Fletch' Fletcher. In 2014, the character made a permanent switch from Casualty to its sister show Holby City.
