Dear Reader,
My adventures in the film trade started in December 2010 when, on my first day on a film set, I died. It's been downhill ever since.
Before that moment, I had, amongst other things, frittered away my time in business, finagled an M.A. in English Literature, wrote poetry, songs and short stories, acted in theatre, and performed as a standup comic, MC and lead singer/front man in R&B bands.
Since then, I've been preachers and teachers, drunks and skunks, a two-faced lawyer and a sex guru too! I've worked on over 200 projects, acting in shorts, features, music videos, TV series and features; I've voiced PSAs, radio plays, Sci-Fi games, industrial projects and commercials. I've been in a commercial with William Shatner - Phasers on Stun! A washed-up rock n'roller rock n'rollin' with an 18 year groupie in Jason Alexander's series 'Hit The Road' and a sombre war vet in 'The Good Doctor'.
British-born, based in Vancouver, I'm a member of UBCP and ACTRA. I've been privileged to train with Deb Podowski @ debpodowskiactingstudio.com and am delighted to be represented by Corey Menzies at Principals Talent.
