Highlights
-
I have been employed on several televised productions and have previously worked on both BBC and ITV based projects as well as many others for a wide range of satellite channels also, which include SKY 1, The Travel Channel and so forth.
I have been fortunate enough to be chosen via audition for several principle role castings also, as well as having featured in various main cast slots additionally, portraying a variety of characters and have most recently enjoyed success in a string of televised commercials as the principle actor for a Medical Negligence Campaign and as front man for the new Mercedes Smart Car, both of which are
currently airing daily on all SKY digital channels.
Additionally I have also recently completed work on a soon to be announced second series television drama and have begun preparatory work for another in the early stages of production. -
I have formerly performed in several staged productions with a style best described as a 'Burlesque style robot' form, which was both unique in design creation as well as interpretation and which drew great praise and appreciation from both audience and producers alike.
-
I have been employed as a photographic model as well has having modelled on many occaisions for various fashion lines, performed as a dancer and choreographed several very successful stage shows in addition at a variety of prestigious locations, both domestically and internationally in times past.
-
I am a trained actor and have an extensive portfolio of experience as a full time jobbing actor from stage beginnings, through both film and tv also, predominantly in principle or main supporting cast roles. Most recently, I have worked on a variety of feature films, projects for both established as well as independent film makers and featured in regular TV slots for both the BBC and a variety of satellite broadcast channels.
I am passionate about my work and embrace each opportunity with equal relish.
Given time where possible, I enjoy character creation immensely and am very open to new and untried possibilities. I have also found success as a voice over artist, presenter, stand in, body double and on occasion worked as crew in various different capacities for both feature film and televised projects. -
I have appeared as a model in several fashion line news letters, worked with agency promotion formely and also given interviews for a handful of international fashion magazines/features.
