About me
What I bring to a role and a production is a wealth of real-world experiences and interactions from riding round the globe, a thoroughly reliable and professional approach from years in business, practical and technical skills from engineering, and a deep life long enthusiasm for film, the messages it communicates and empathy it generates.My passion for film started with my grandfather, helping in his projection room. Coming from a family of painters and sculptors I've always been exposed to offtrack and overseas work. Recently I've worked with the Scottish Screen Archive to preserve my grandfather's and some of Scotland's earliest films and documentaries.
In 2016 I returned from solo motorcycle touring the Balkans, Turkey, Georgia, Russian and crossing the border in to Ukraine, racing 2000km in the Albanian Rally, lumberjacking, a car chase, running a road block and vodka drinking games with Ukrainian bikers. I decided to change my life; turning from my parallel careers as a research engineer and desert motorcycle racer to pursue full time my love of film acting.
Few things take me out of my comfort zone, I travel well, I'm professional, focused, sociable and very easy to talk and work with. In my 15 year career I was an electronic engineer working mainly with startups and my fitness as a runner is good with periods of weight lifting. I'm quite happy training for a role or changing hair and beard and work extremely well in unusual and challenging environments.
"Working with Olly proved to be a real professional pleasure. As an actor, Olly guarantees the patience, discipline and creativity to absorb indications, follow them and improve his performance upon feedback. As a person, I found in Olly a sociable individual eager to meet and and talk to new people. More than any other actors with whom I've worked with, Olly has the eye of a filmmaker as he is able to come up with creative suggestions and adjustments to scenes. This trait leads to an increase in the overall quality of any project he is a part of."
- Sorin Baluta, Producer
"I found Olly to be wonderfully self-motivated, thorough and energetic. I was impressed by his engagement with the script and comitted attitude to his performance. His presence on set made all the more welcome due to his warmth and encouragement to the rest of the crew, I hope the opportunity to work together in the future presents itself soon."
- Jame D Chanter, Producer & Director
