Highlights
-
I have been involved in amateur theatre groups since University ranging from Shakespeare to full Musical Theatre productions. I have performed at Aboyne Theatre Aberdeenshire and His Majesty's Theatre Aberdeen. Principal roles; Prince Hal ( Henry IV part one, Oedipus ( Oedipus Rex), The Ghost of Jacob Marley ( Scrooge the Musical), Orin Scrivello -the Mad Dentist ( Little Shop of Horrors), CJ Scruggs and Aggie Footballer ( Best Little WhoreHouse in Texas). My most recent performance was in Spamalot The Musical as Brave Sir Robin, Mayor and Guard One ,Aboyne Theatre June 2018 with Upstage Productions. Recent film experience playing Gilbert Hughes in the short film "Here Lies Adelia Hughes" August 2018. Recent walk on and extra roles in BBC Scotland's River City ( 3 episodes) and BBC One Peaky Blinders series 5. Most recent work as featured artist in ITV's Belgravia as Lord Derby and Priest/Highland Games official in Netflix The Crown series 4.
My oil industry career and more latterly in Corporate Investment Banking has given me a myriad of characters and situations to draw on. I have had dealings with Ministers, Oligarchs, Nobility, Bankers, Company Executives and even Gun-toting Militia. And I have worked in locations ranging from the North Sea through sweltering deserts to active conflict zones with armed guards. I really do know what it is like to have a loaded gun pointed at me. As Shakespeare once wrote; all the world is a stage! -
