About me
I have come to acting later in life, having spent many years as a doctor.I qualified as a medical doctor in 1993 and I have been a consultant psychiatrist since 2003
I reached a certain age with a zero in it and decided to pursue what had always been yearning and burning inside me for many years and trained to be an actor. I had a fantastic year at the Bridge Theatre Training Company, completing a diploma in professional acting. I learnt so much and felt totally transformed as an actor.
As a qualified psychiatrist and doctor of many years experience, I bring a wealth of experience to my acting. In psychiatry you see see humanity in all its glory and the best and worst of what people can be and to me that’s what I want to portray in acting. I think people are fascinating and amazing with all their flaws and eccentricities and that’s why I love psychiatry and also why I love acting as an art form. As a psychiatrist, I have excellent listening skills and a real understanding of human nature. I can play professional roles such as doctor, lawyer etc easily.
Whilst at the Bridge Theatre Training Company, I really enjoyed quirky character parts and comedy roles. I have had feedback that I am very good at these and have excellent comic timing. I am also very good in caring, counselling roles, and am good at playing sympathetic best friends etc. I believe my voice is very good and powerful and I have good resonance. I have had feedback that I give a very natural performance and portray emotions well. Although there is a gentleness to my acting, I have also played powerful roles very well. I think my many years as a psychiatrist really is an experience which gives a richness and intelligence to my acting abilities.
I am good at role play for medical or legal examinations and have already done this as part of medical student teaching during my work as a doctor.
I have some accent skills and a qualification in stage combat. I have a good blues style singing voice.
