About me
I am a Manchester based disabled actor. I was lucky enough to be born with only one arm so I get to enjoy half price manicures and can afford to lose the "other glove". I graduated from East 15 acting school in 2012 and work in both TV and theatre.I, like many disabled actors, are continuously fighting to change the way disability is seen in this industry. For me, having a disability has never been a disadvantage. Unless I'm trying to cut steak or tie up my hair. For me it's about experiencing situations differently to people without disabilities and therefore having a different take on the world.
It's about showing that talented disabled performers can be raw, gritty, vulnerable, beautiful, sexy, real and it coming from a very personal and unique place. So its not a disadvantage. It's an ability to see things from a completely different angle and take on characters in different way.
