Actor, Musician

Welcome to my World ! Since joining Star Now, I have been involved as featured background with a Channel 4 comedy series pilot, filmed 8 commercials as a featured background artist for new 'Cash Converters' campaign and been main actor for Internet Viral Advert Camaign for Tom Tom GPS. Also managed to reach dizzy heights of new series of ITV's LEWIS; plus castings and workshops for Films, TV Adverts, West End Musicals and Music Videos; so all positive stuff! I am a reliable and hard-working individual, well disciplined with a great deal of professional integrity. I consider myself very easy to work with and have a good sense of humour. I am also an experienced and versatile drummer and have performed with Big Bands, from Rock through to Jazz Funk; pub/club gigs, studio sessions and playing at Corporate events and Weddings; so am happy to play any styles. Hobbies include Skiing, Distance Running and Trekking, Cycling, Scuba Diving, Theatre and Dance and travel. Thanks for visit
