About me
Following a somewhat varied career path, I came into acting in my early 30's from a creative background centred around modelling and photography.As my acting career has developed, I have been fortunate enough to be cast in some extremely exciting productions and projects, leading to a body of work which includes many lead, as well as featured, acting roles.
My credits include both film and TV work, as well as live TV productions, commercials and viral shorts.
Acting experience:
British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat (BASSC) training includes: Broadsword, Knife, Rapier & Dagger, Rapier & Cloak, Unarmed Combat.
Additional skills:
I am a very keen and skilled sportsman (Boxing, Rugby, Archery, Horse Riding and Extreme Sports in particular), and I follow a rigorous training and fitness routine. I used to teach ballroom and latin dance, and I am also a fire-performer.
I am experienced in underwater work, 3D capture, wire-work, green screen and stunt work.
Industry awards:
In 2019, I played the lead role in the Ghost Recon: Breakpoint live-action trailer, which went on to win the Mobius Award in the category 'Best of Show Commercials'.
Additional information:
Prior to my acting career, I gained degrees in Biochemistry and Teaching, before accepting a commission in the Royal Marines in 2003. Unfortunately my military career was short-lived, as I was forced to withdraw from training due to changes in colour-vision medical requirements within the Armed Forces. Following my withdrawal, I went on to gain a further degree in Law, before being called to the Bar as a Barrister in 2009.
Shortly after my 'call', I was offered representation by an agency, and my creative career began.
I am heavily travelled, and I have spent a lot of time abroad in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
I also own the photographic studio and private location 'Parklands Studio', whilst working behind the lens and teaching photography.
In 2006, I established the 'Always With A Smile' foundation. This is a non-profit goodwill organisation whose main aim is to put a smile on the face of as many people as possible. Through my work as founder of 'Always With A Smile' I have received recognition from the Pride of Britain Awards, the British Citizen Awards, the Guinness Book of World Records, the Independent on Sunday's 'Happy List' and 10 Downing Street, to name but a few.
My work with the foundation results in a number of TV appearances each year (live and pre-recorded), both in the UK and abroad. Such shows have included The Paul O'Grady Show (2009), The Michael Ball Show (2010), Britain's Got Talent (2010), This Morning (2010), Tales From The Coast (2017), A League Of Their Own (2018), You Vs. Chris & Kem (2018) and many others.
In addition, the media work I undertake as the founder of 'Always With A Smile' includes a considerable amount of presentation work, including direct to camera presenting, interviews and event hosting.
