About me
Having been involved in various aspects of this industry i feel now i am in the place i want to be, that of a serious actor, I feel my age does not reflect my character or my outlook on life as a young heart and a young mind exists within this bodily frame.I have in the past focused on music having fronted bands on vocals,also sung in choral ansembles, four part harmony (west gallery music). Also love to sing jazz/ rat pack stuff.
Have been involved in musical theatre and done productions of Oklahoma/Jekyll@Hyde/ Scarlett Pimpernel/ and showcased,Miss Saigon,Jesus christ superstar,Chicago.
I had done some serious roles,and when i was offered a was offerd a place at the Stirling Academy 2009 where i was able to develope my capabilities as a serious actor and having applied all my efforts to this particular field, i feel very humbled in being given and trusted with the challenging roles i have done.
Now in 2013.my peers tell me i am a natural character actor going forward.
