About me
As an actor, I have a great range of facial expressions, combined with good body language, and I am an expert at improvising. I turned professional in January 2011, and I have gained experience in theatre, film, television, commercials, videos, and corporate performance work. I'm an English actor, I'm quite fit and toned (due to climbing & MA), am flexible, easy to direct and work with, professional, polite, punctual, reliable and keen! I am also a member of Equity & a fully vetted member of The British Actors Network. I'm a people-watcher, and as such can also mimic stereotypes, attitudes & behaviours from a wide range of backgrounds. Previously I was a full-time IT Lecturer for 12 years, talking, explaining, performing and 'thinking on my feet' in front of many learners (teenagers & IT professionals), and thus have complete confidence in front of the camera or a live audience. I currently do [ad-hoc] work as a Supply Teacher in my county of Ceredigion in West Wales.Skills

Highlights
-
Dancing Experience (I only do Popping/Locking/Robotics/Glides now)
========================================================
- Auditioned for, and got the part of, a Body-Popping Postman in a music video for the artist Jason Jamaine in February 2011.
- Retired undefeated as a B-Boy / Body-Popper on the club dance-floor. Won every battle from 1985 to 1997 when I 'retired' after a 45 min battle which I won, exhausted. All battles were in breakdancing and body-popping
- Performed as a 'Body Popping City Gent' in the student short film 'City Dance-Off' in June 2010.
- I have lots of experience Breakdancing and Body-Popping in clubs, bars, parties, and on the street.
- In my past, I used to do power moves (8 step, backspins, windmills, turtles, etc) and body popping, but now I just concentrate on locking and popping-based moves (Popping, locking, robotics, floats, etc).
- I am very good at Moonwalk/Glide variations (including forwards, sideways, and an impressive circleglide), and still amaze people with the smoothness of my moves. I started when I was 14, and 'retired' undefeated in 1997. I do the occasional demo of simple moves in bars and for friends.
- I've also got a bit of Jazz style dancing experience as I can do the Charleston and variations thereof, among other styles : I can easily adapt and learn styles quickly as I've got rhythm and co-ordination. -
