About me
I'm a public school educated, retired health care professional with a passion and natural creative flair for acting and a considerable breadth of experience, both in acting and in life, including military (Army Officer), NHS and private health care and farming that I can call on to give strong, realistic and accurate portrayals of a wide range of characters in varied situations and emotions.Additional skills:
Good with animals (including Indian elephants!) having had a wide variety of pets (from cats and dogs to horses and red deer), rescued wildlife and farm livestock (not cattle). Can drive/operate simple tractors and farm machinery, etc.
Owned and drove a 7 ton, 35' American RV (motorhome).
Additional information:
I have a diverse range of skills and knowledge, from shooting, fishing and farming, to bee keeping, wool spinning, carpentry, archery, photography, art, antiques.
I also have experience of snorkeling, SCUBA, flying (glider and single engine, though no qualifications in), sailing, archaeology, natural history, painting and drawing, WWII history, writing.
