About me
I'm an extremely hard-working young man with a lot of determination. Performing is my passion and I have grown to love acting especially. In anything I do, I put 100% in it and I never give up on the things I love doing. I believe the success comes when you are doing what you love, not when you are financially superior. Even if I wasn't being paid, I would still perform. Despite all this, I don't take myself too seriously because I believe to enjoy what you do, you must have fun with it, and learn to poke fun at yourself once in a while. I'm extremely reliable and I stand by my beliefs and principals.Skills

I have a lot of experience as a leading actor in many productions and theatre plays (Love is a Losing Game, Family Affairs, Love & Life) as well as leading acting roles in music videos and adverts. I have recently completed a tour of schools with Theatre in Education teaching school children the dangers of drug abuse and knife & gun crime.
