Education

About me

Born and raised in SE London. A versatile actor with a varied background and 'a very flexible face!' See my gallery at https://johnconway.biz

Acting experience:
Drama Studio London trained, including stage combat, Credits include a few feature films, several short films, commercials, idents, immersive theatre, stage, touring theatre, numerous pantomimes, corporate role-play and even scare-acting. Prior to turning pro I had 30+ years of amateur musical theatre experience and danced for at least half of them. Alongside my acting I'm still a very good mover with basic dance skills.

Additional skills:
BASSC Basic - Distinction (unarmed, rapier & dagger) - April 2012.

BASSC workshop - cut-throat razor, broad sword, long sword - November 2012.

Music hall, cabaret, a short spell of choreography, a turn on a unicycle, some basic juggling and full-size puppetry have all featured in my repertoire.

I play golf, football, darts, table tennis bowling and pool/snooker to a fair standard.

I possess reasonable DIY skills and taught ICT in my previous career.

Additional information:
I have close on 40 years of experience in entertainment in a wide variety of roles and theatrical genres. I have played straight roles, comedy roles, many cameos and appeared in cabaret, music hall and panto. I have always sung and used to do a lot of dancing. Even before drama school, I benefited from working with professional choreographers, actors and directors.

My playing age is roughly 10 years either side of my actual age without make-up.

I am hard-working, enthusiastic and very hands-on. I love rehearsing and rarely say 'no' to a good post-rehearsal/show social.
