  About me

  I am 69 years old and live in Whitehill, East Hampshire. I have 6 GCE O-Levels and 3 A-Levels, and RSA Diplomas including Book-Keeping and Word Processing. I have had several jobs including the Civil Service (I receive a pension from them), Taxi Driving (I ran my own business in 2003-04), Parcel Delivery, Sales Representative for a well-known Home Improvements company (2007-08) during which time I won a TV in a sales competition, Assistant Manager at a large BP Service Station (1992-96) and in Portsmouth City Council's Housing Department (2005-06). I have an outgoing personality and was involved in amateur dramatics for nearly ten years, and I give my experience below under Acting Experience. From November 2015 to June 2017 I attended an Acting Workshop at The Groundlings Theatre in Portsmouth; I learned more about the Acting Industry and sharpened my Acting skills to a higher level. I have at present three IMDB credits, and I am at my happiest meeting and interacting with people.

  My interests

  Besides Amateur Dramatics I still enjoy playing Bridge although I play a lot less than formerly. I also enjoy quizzes and travel, mainly in the UK.

  Television experience

  I appeared as an Extra in the American series "Obsessions" which was shot in July and August 2013 and was shown on Sky TV's Crime and Punishment channel early in March 2014 (please see above). I have also appeared in three episodes of "Storage Hunters" on Dave, and hope to appear in more in the future.

  Modelling experience

  I have none at present but am definitely interested.

  Acting experience

  I have been involved in Amateur Dramatics now for nearly ten years. I have appeared in Macbeth, The Wizard of Oz, Spend Spend Spend, Little Shop of Horrors, Red Hot and Cole, Calendar Girls, A Laughing Matter, The Language Archive, The Night Maxie Tortellini hit Big Lola Latrobe's and two one-act plays. In addition, from 2006 to 2008 I gained experience in improvisation working for an organisation called Katchakilla performing murder mysteries, pirate, mediaeval banquet, wartime and James Bond-themed events, mainly for the corporate market. Some of these events were team-building exercises booked by the client companies' managements and some were parties.

  Specific Skills

  I can perform several regional and national accents. My best are probably London and West Country, but I can also perform Geordie, Liverpool, Lancashire, Yorkshire, West Midlands, Welsh, Scottish and Southern Irish; and overseas accents, French, German, Italian, Spanish, American, Australian, New Zealand and East European. I am less strong with Northern Irish, East Anglian, East Midlands, Indian and Caribbean but I would be very keen to become proficient in those also.

  Interesting Past Experiences

  The company for whom I drove a taxi obtained a contract to transport cast members to and from the set of The Worst Witch which was being filmed in rural Surrey. Through this I drove Una Stubbs from the set to her flat in Central London. We talked on the journey about the TV and stage business, her role in The Worst Witch and her more famous role as Rita in Till Death Us Do Part. I think my interest in acting really started with that journey; I began to see myself learning lines, rehearsing and performing live - in fact, as an entertainer.

  In 1967, when I was doing my A-Levels, I went on a geography Field Course to Slapton in South Devon. The D-Day landings rehearsals were carried out here and we saw the place where one American boat got it wrong and was torpedoed. This was only 23 years after the event but it still took some imagination to think that a tranquil spot like that could play host to such an event!

  In March 2016 I received an IMDB Credit for my role as an extra (a customer in a restaurant) in a short film "Paradis".

  Dancing Experience

  I have no dancing experience.

  Singing Experience

  I have no singing experience.
