Highlights

• I was selected in July 2009 to be one of the faces for the Madame Tussauds advertising campaign for the summer. I was in posters promoting Madame Tussauds in London, on posters in the Underground and Tube stations as well as on the side of certain buses in the capital.
  
  I have also appeared in a poster campaign for Learn Direct.
• I have had a small speaking parts in Torchwood, Doctors, Mount Pleasant, Casualty and Hometime. I recently appeared in the Sky Sports commercial promoting the England vs India test series as one of the dancers. I have done many SA roles in the above shows as well as Being Human, Hustle and Survivors.
  
  I recently appeared in the film called 'Seeds of Doubt' produced by Armoris Productions.
  
  Performing is what I do best. I have a tremendous passion for acting. I enjoy the challenge of stepping into characters and not just performing as them but being them. Stepping into a role and relating to the character that I have taken on. I love challenging roles like using mixed emotions. My acting/performing history is small but all I can do is ask you to consider me if it will work for the character you are casting for. Allow me to audition for you to prove myself. I am especially strong with line-learning.
  
  Despite my look I have played the roles of a bishop, bumbling police officer, closet homosexual and New York wiseguy amongst others. I am confident in taking on any part offered to me.
  
  I can be take on any mood you want and am especially strong in silent and brooding characters.
  
  I am prepared to do speaking or silent parts and will travel for any work that comes my way.
  
  I worked with a drama group in Birmingham called Class Act and recently have appeared in 3 plays we have put together. See How They Run, When Santa Lost his Beard and One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. I had large roles in all 3 productions and consider myself an experienced Theatre actor who has also assisted in the direction of the latter play.
  
  I have also worked in a Health and Safety video for the company Vocam and did a number of scenes for a DVD about Health and Safety in the Factory.
  
  I have also done some voice-over work for a Community video made for the Witton/Aston area of Birmingham featuring the former boxer Richie Woodall. I provided a Panjabi voice-over so that the DVD can be viewed by members of the community for whom this is their first language. I was responsible for translating the English script myself.
  
  I have recently acted in a corporate video for Nottingham NHS, playing a manager in a meeting that goes badly.
  
  In addition to my acting work I have recently featured as one of the main models in the Madame Tussauds poster campaign on the London Underground. I have also done a poster shoot for LearnDirect.
  
  I am an Equity member.
  
  In August 2010 I presented a live discussion show on the Sikh Channel which included studio guests and the taking of live topics. The show was broadcast live on the web and Sky TV.
