About me
As a native Londoner, I originally trained as an actor in Hackney. I have since had a wide range of jobs spanning TV, film, stage, music videos, a games app ad, training videos and a stills photo shoot for a national advertising campaign for Kwik Fit.My TV work has included parts on BBC 1, Channel 5, the Crime & Investigation Channel and the History Channel. I've just shot several scenes as a gangster (Anthony) in an Indian action thriller feature film called SURULI which was directed by renowned Tamil director Karthik Subbaraj and stars James Cosmo and several well-known Indian actors. It is being released in April 2020.
I also recently shot a Star Wars fan film in Iceland in which I play the lead antagonist. It will be released in April 2019. I also have a small part in a black comedy feature film due to be released in March 2019.
Since 2014, I have also been part of the Forest Row-based Barebones Theatre Project. My parts have included Poul in FESTEN, Simon in THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS and Hugo Dorn in a modern version of THE SEAGULL.
Additional Information
I can speak good German and also converse in French and Swedish.Additional Skills
I have trained and sung with the London Community Gospel Choir and with an award-winning gospel choir in Lewes, E Sussex. In Festen, I sung two songs in Danish.I have worked at the BBC World Service and for the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, for Reed Business Information and for CAT Publications.
I like to play squash, tennis and football, swim, cycle and run. I also practise yoga, can ski, play golf, ice skate, ride a horse, cook and drive. I have some training in karate.
