About me
I grew up In Brighton. Over the years i have travelled through and lived in America and spent 2 years in the Merchant Navy. Once i reached my 30's i decided Acting was where my heart lay and i have found that all the travel and all the people i have met has proved to be invaluable when creating characters. In my spare time i then developed an Elvis impersonation act Suspiciously Elvis. This act then became really successful and contributes to be to this day. This show is very physically demanding and definately keeps me in good vocal and physical shape. I am also a professional actor and that makes me very aware of the versatility an actor has to possess. I enjoy changing my hair and body to suit the character i have to play. One thing i firmly believe is that the job and what the director requires is the most important factor and i pride myself that i am a team player and i love to work hard which i find most rewarding. I have a car and Motorcycle so travel is not a problem.Skills
