Highlights
-
I've played roles in various TV shows including Peepshow, Lee Nelson's well good show...
-
filmed scenes for independent British spy movie "Eliminate: Archie Cookson".
i have played over 35 characters in the past 13 plays alone. and have performed in dialects ranging from RP to Lancashire, Northern Irish to Norfolk, with German, Spanish and Latin thrown in for good measure. so, i know that with a good example and a bit of practice I can pick up any dialect or accent.
having worked in rep theatre i know i can learn lines quickly, have developed many characters and am always looking for opportunities to learn new skills.
since I was 8 I have been in local amateur pantomimes and plays. I trained at Drama school in Reading, have worked on feature films and TV series, and have shot scenes working alongside Johnny Depp and Andy Serkis.
I am a quick learner and thrive on new challenges.
