I am known by my friends as a leader and the guy to turn to when things go wrong. I love life and love the acting industry. I am determined to keep the passion I have for my career as an actor as I know, "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait!" I will always keep my faith in the future no matter what life throws my way,making me the strong character, that is "Gavin Byrne". I am very good with various accents and I am confident in my learning skills.I can fit into any situation with all types of people. I have extreme determination and a natural talent for acting and creativity. I have a fun and outgoing personality and I have recently completed vigorous training in muai thai boxing in Thailand.
