About me
I'm an actor, voice artist, filmmaker (Producer/Director/DOP), and theatre director.A National Youth Theatre member from 16 I later trained for 3 years in BA (HONS) Acting at ArtsEd London, where I was also introduced to the art of filmmaking.
Once graduated I set up Plucky Films to compliment my acting career and enable me to make my own work. Since then I have grown my company considerably whilst maintaining my acting, most notably playing the ongoing regular character Freddie Pargetter in BBC Radio 4's The Archers, amongst other diverse roles in video games, ads, short films etc.
As a theatre director I've taken two 4* reviewed plays to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, with sell-out London transfers for both.
I hold a distinction in Advanced Stage Combat from the BADC across a multitude of weapons forms and open hand techniques. Additionally, I am also a keen martial artist and have practiced Loong Ying Dragon Kung Fu for over 10 years.
I sing, play the violin, ukulele and harmonica, dabble in music production, edited radio plays and have composed theatrical scores.
Additional information:
My skill set encompasses a wide range of disciplines, and while some might presume this to be a dilution of my worth as a specialist, I firmly disagree, and believe that my abilities and understanding of many aspects of performance and film production are what make me such a valuable asset to any project. A knowledge of how different aspects of film making intersect, and what each are trying to achieve allows me to better calibrate my own contribution relative to others on my team, be it directing, acting, producing or anything else.
