Godfrey is most famous for his role as himself on the Canadian children's television show You Can't Do That on Television. He was on the show from 1986 to 1987, with his debut in the Season 7 episode "Know-It-Alls". His character was portrayed as the "know-it-all" of the show, who's huge knowledge base inadvertently annoyed his cast-mates. His normal clothing style was scholarly well-dressed, including a shirt, tie and the occasional sweater vest. His younger brother Amyas has also appeared on the show and on occasion they were in the same sketch.
He also voiced several characters in the children's animated television series Dennis the Menace.
Godfrey has appeared in several films and shows including Iron Eagle IV, The Private Capital, PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal, Once a Thief, Jonovision, Madonna: Innocence Lost, Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth, The Private Capital, Blocked, Killing Moon, The Great Defender, Out of Omaha, Boogies Diner and Nobody's Business.
