Culver attended the Lancing College and initially pursued a career as an architect before turning his attention to theatre. He made his London stage debut in 1924 and established himself as a versatile actor capable of performing in a range of genres. His early career was interrupted by his service as an anti-aircraft gunner in the Royal Artillery during World War II, but he quickly returned to acting after the war.

His most recognized roles in cinema include the dapper Major in "Thunder Rock" (1942), the suave George Salt in "English Without Tears" (1944), and the aristocratic Brian Strange in "Dead of Night" (1945). In addition to his stage and film work, Culver also made significant contributions to television.
