Highlights
-
I graduated from East 15 Acting School in September 2010.
I am currently shooting a psychological horror short film where I am the only character. My character plays three different personalities: the outgoing, physical type; the rational, quiet one and the spiritual, detached kind.
This year I played in many short films where I could fully express my versatility: I was a psychiatric patient, a drunken lad, a Shakespearian fanatic, an Indian Fortune Teller.
Last summer I had a role in an absurdist play performed at The Camden Fringe Festival which had the biggest audience among all the venues. I played a 70 year old Crossing Guard who had killed people by mistake and had suicidal tendencies.
I was lucky to have a role in a feature shot in Los Angeles which is currently being screened in many festivals in the States and Europe.
Besides acting I am writing my own One-Man Show in which I'll portray a guy inhabited by 15 different people: a very old wise man, a horny young teenager, an experienced female dancer, an extremely camp artist, an annoying kid, a talking baby, etc...I'll then realise I have a twin brother...Which is true actually!
I would love to play in a series for British TV and go back to L.A to shoot another feature.
I can play in English and in French. -
I started playing the keyboard at 3 years old and got into music lessons at 5.
I have been classically trained in piano, for 10 years, with the highest distinctions.
I started composing at 12 years old.
Now I enjoy improvising piano pieces inspired by pop, rock and electro music.
I was in many bands for about 10 years as a singer-songwriter-pianist.
Today, I still train my voice in order to sing my own tunes in the One-Man Show I'm currently writing.
As an actor, I am also getting prepared to sing in musicals.
