I live in the Netherlands but have bases in London and the Isle of Man. I will consider low-paid work to help new starters or fan productions but would kindly ask you cast from showreels rather than auditions. I will only travel for paid work.

‘Reluctant new crew member (and former Federation data analyst, introduced in Volume One‘s “Throwback”) Madison is not a fan of heroic gestures. His understandable outrage at Avalon’s duplicitous ways of working provide the episode’s main drama. Christopher Cooper’s script brings Madison’s personal dilemmas to life particularly effectively, and Cliff Chapman once again delivers a fine performance in the role delivering just the right blend of sensitivity and exasperation.’ Cult Box

“Sucked into this rebellion unwillingly, he is terrifically engaging: Cliff Chapman’s performance is by turns, petulant and endearing and I can’t wait to hear how Madison survives in a hostile universe.” Indie Mac User

‘This episode is a particular showcase for Madison, who has been an interesting support to Avalon since the first box-set… Madison sometimes delivers a few Avon-like intellectual put-downs and has a Vila-ish focus on his own survival, but he’s a distinctive character whose relatively privileged previous life with the Federation informs his attitude in a way that causes conflict with almost every rebel he encounters. His non-friendship with Avalon is consistently sparky, and Cliff Chapman keeps him constantly real.

A theme of this volume is Madison’s disgust at the temporary company which Avalon is prepared to keep in order to realise her long-term goals. This comes to a head in this episode with the appearance of Dev Tarrant, as Madison struggles with a desire for personal revenge that runs contrary to Avalon’s plans and the cause of the resistance. The venomous hatred Madison feels is vividly conveyed by Chapman…’ We Made This

“It takes a fair amount of gumption to play a scene like that with an actor of Greif’s calibre and vocal quality, but to give him his due, Chapman more than holds his own, making the story a subtle battle of wills and words and making us invest in Madison’s future, despite the fact that as a character, he’s difficult to warm to – a fact not lost on his fellow resistance members as time goes on… pitting Greif and Chapman against each other produces something powerful, the kind of audio you can eat a hell of a lot of popcorn to. And probably a few fingernails too.” Project Torchwood

Blake’s 7 Restoration 2: Happy Ever After

‘As a result, because the setting and the tone of the story is very Shakespearean, the performance of the guest cast is regal and flawless. Cliff Chapman, as the conniving Queen’s advisor Tyrric, also has a voice not unlike that of a young Paul Darrow. Dare I say it but could Chapman be a worthy successor to the great man himself as Avon in the future?’ reviews.newsintimeandspace.net

Eye of Night
"The voice work is the highlight though, bringing great personality to each character – Cliff Chapman’s Grey Knight Justicar and Annie Aldington’s cackling crone Moriana are highlights..."

Agent of Throne: Blood And Lies
"The main narrative, then, sees Ianthe and Artabanus (voiced by Cliff Chapman), a ‘cyber-devotee’ who’s another of Covenant’s agents, trying to track down the cult in the midst of city-wide riots and local enforcer purges... The cast all do sterling work as ever, keeping their performances grounded and believable; Chapman once again (after Dark Compliance) delivers an excellent base for the SFX to manipulate his voice into the dry mechanical tones of Artabanus."

Scions of Elysia
"Cliff Chapman (Adullam), Stephen Perring (Zachariah) and Jonathan Keeble (Adullam’s interrogator) all deliver their lines with aplomb."

Daedalus
"It goes without saying that the standard of the audio elements is outstanding. The seven-strong voice cast, familiar names (and voices) all, put in their usual excellent performances..."

Dead Static

'Dead Static is a really nice piece of small theatre, performed with considerable ability... The bravado and intensity of Chapman juxtaposed with the feckless apathy of Joselyn is the real success of this play... steady strong performances... Confident acting here... The anger and frustration portrayed by Chapman was arrogantly brilliant... the actors did an excellent job of portraying the morales and fears of both characters... it really is quite a splendidly thoughtful and hilarious production.' - James Bacon, Forbidden Planet International

'Cliff Chapman as Tyler and Adam Joselyn as Gary are two excellent clowns in what is... certainly even funnier a space comedy than Red Dwarf.' - Snipe London.

Liar's League/Booked

"Their performances were superb, treading the careful line between subtle humour and aching pathos with aplomb, captivating the crowd with the human hearts of stories that wrestled to transcend their potentially problematic gender politics."- Drew Worthley

Kiss-Kill

"When done well, like this piece... epistolary storytelling can be quite effective. I've also seen it done badly, but not this time. What makes it work is the strength of the narrative voice... which is carried well, indeed, enhanced by Cliff Chapman's reading." - Mimetic Declination

A Hero's Journey

"There is a feisty performance from Ellen Gallagher... and a delightful one from Chapman as the phantom Dr Who." Howard Loxton, The British Theatre Guide

'Solid work performed with authority to full houses by an excellent pro cast.' Stephen Gallagher
