Professional since 2006, I am a versatile comic and dramatic actor with a strong presence yet natural feel, experienced in film, TV, commercials, corporates, stage, voiceover, interactive and improvisational performance.

Very relatable, grounded character actor, also with excellent comedy skills and timing; and ability to find emotional depth in the characters and their interactions. See Credits for my previous roles.
