About me
I have a passion for acting, whether it be on the stage or TV/Film. I have been told on a number of occasions that I hold a great deal of presence on stage. I have also begun to extend my repertoire to include modelling and am eager to increase my skills in both areas.I enjoy mixing with people, socialising with family and friends. I have a good sense of humour and enjoy making people laugh.

Highlights
-
I was a model with the Hackney Fashion Wick, where I opened the show.
I was sent to 'BUSPACES STUDIOS' to test how I would be for future shoots/ jobs with 'Male Model'. I was given a glowing report to be used for future jobs, they also said 'push for commercials'.
I was 'The Face of Lewisham College', promoting the college. The photos were advertised on buses, at bus stops, in papers, on the internet, posters, leaflets and banners.
I have had photo-shoots with 'The Factory' and 'Double-Take Studios', in my own time to develop my experience.
I have modelled for hairdressers, with a wedding seasons theme. -
I have performed at the Erith Playhouse Theatre; one of my favourite shows called Orphans. I had a non-paid speaking role, portraying one of the main characters of Philip, who is a shy and reclusive individual. His big brother Treat has denied him access to the outside world and an education for the majority of his life, leading him to display autistic tendancies such as obsessions and ticks. I was complimented on my physicality and array of emotions portrayed throughout the performance.
Brief Encounter was a radio play that was arranged during the first lockdown of 2020. It was a new experience to lend my voice to a role without the physical aspect to accompany the performance. We took several takes in various ways to get the desired scene.
NSFW; this gave me the time to stretch my comedic skills, as the character is so sweet but is placed in situation that lent himself to comedy situation.
Bracken Moor was a ghost story with a phycological twist, I remember the director stating that he wanted to leave the option open if there was a spiritual hand at work or not. Portraying a character with that mind set and plan was intense. I remember discussing with my fellow actor about the strike made at the end & ensured him that it needed to be as real as possible, giving permission to strike me to uphold the strength of the show.
I also particularly enjoyed the show 'Skellig', at the Edward Alderton Theatre, where I played the title character of Skellig. I ensured I focused on and rehearsed in detail how I would move and speak, due to the nature of the character and how he changes through the play. I also liaised closely with the director and costume department about how I would appear. Local schools attended during show week, as they were reading 'Skellig' as part of their studies, the students praised me for my portrayal of Skellig as it was exactly how they imagined.
I have performed two shows at the Geoffrey Whitworth Theatre. The first being 'White Liars', where I played 'Tom' a musician who is persuaded to see a fortune teller by his manager and friend. As the play unfolds, it becomes clear that the truth may not always be what you want it to be. This role required me to speak half of the play in a Northern accent. The second show was 'The History Boys', where I played the role 'Scrips', best friend to the lead character 'Dakin'. As the boys finish their exams, they are ready for a brighter future, however, first they have to follow an unfortunate tale with their history teacher.
I have had the honour of performing the Theatrical/ Stage debut of 'Some Mother Do 'Ave 'Em', at the Edward Alderton Theatre. The script consisted of the best parts from the TV series linked together by narration from Frank Spencer, reminiscing about his life. I played the role of Frank Spencer, where I was complimented on my physicality in the performance, my facial expressions and the accent/tone of voice used which mirrored the original character. Raymond Allen, original writer/creator of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, watched the show and praised me on my portrayal of the lead character.
My most recent show at Erith Play House Theatre was, 'Dick Barton Episode 3: The Tango of Terror'. I played Wilco, one half of a pair, Roger & Wilco. Even though this was a small role, many of the audience members said that I 'stole the show' with my performance. I also played EFIL Stranger, a character which helped the story progress for the show's main villain.
I have performed at Erith Playhouse Theatre in a play called 'Private Peaceful'. The play is a classic 'rite of passage' story for two brothers, Thomas Peaceful & Charlie Peaceful. It is a story about the friendship between the two brothers & the undying bond of trust between soldiers in the trenches. I was the lead role of Thomas Peaceful.
I have performed at Erith Playhouse Theatre in a play called 'The Accrington Pals', in which I played a character called Ralph who joined up in the Second World War. The show lasted a week and I was complemented on my stage presence. -
In 2014 I took part in a film called 'Rise & Fall of the Krays', as an extra. I played one of the police officers that made the arrest of one of the Kray twins. We had to learn and perform a stunt choreographed fight prior to filming.
In Shrink I played Bar Tender which was a minor speaking role, engaging with the main character. We had to do several takes to ensure consistency was made.
