About me

I've Worked with all kinds of People/ Characters/ Faces in Theatre, TV and Film, Music and beyond, and have been lucky enough to have travelled extensively : 53 countries 177 cities last count, still loads to see and do...

As an Actor Nowadays- Playing age is usually cast within 39 - 49. I am the Boyfriend/ Husband/ Father/ the Son, Government agent, The Guy in the suit, the unassuming Psychopath , the comedic office worker, the non violent Soldier, the Lawyer or Reporter. Also, am The 'normal' bloke and/or Straight or gay Boyfriend. (Casualty 2012) I also can play the Posh Bloke or Army Guy in a Costume Period Piece (sometimes), I Like playing Gritty Drama (The Normal Heart) with a great script (essential), or Subtle/ Dry/ Dead-pan Comedy/ Humour/ Favourite (more comedy jobs please) ). Im good at keeping a straight face (btw). see comedy showreel :) Really enjoy/ I have wonder about it; Science Fiction Genre. yes working on Rogue one was a 'controlled thrill' Playing Action where possible (big kid/ Fight, military & stage training). Particularly like (and excellent casting on your end) when cast playing 'the Strange' i.e; odd, the Vampire, Demons & Aliens for some reason... with backstories of outcasts that can give the character sympathy. Generally 'unhinged' Villains (Yes Please), but also creating these complex characters with a TRUTH behind the eyes and intention. Why? because they're Fun to play and It's more interesting (all round) in the quest of the Human Experience...isn't it? I like watching people and observing their processes on the tube, bus, street etc. btw I am aware I am not my thoughts...

Acting tickles my heart, is what I do, am qualified in and have done since a Child. I enjoy the Work, the Rehearsals, the Process, the People and of course the Journey and sometimes even the finished product. (not so much the unemployment!). Just working regularly in this business I consider success.

Voices for games and Docu voice overs are a Pleasure...as are Musicals on Stage & Film! (see cv).

Could I be right for a Part in your Production?
