I have been acting for many years and have had a great deal of theatre and TV experience. I trained at the City Lit Institute in London and continue to attend courses including Stanivslaski and Meisner. I love taking on characters from zany to sublime and am never afraid to try anything - however outlandish!
I have been involved in the Brighton Fringe Festival many times and also taken shows to London at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden.
I am a fast learner of lines, can play a wide range of voices and characters and work well with people. In the last year I have been playing the lead in an independent feature film in Brighton called High Water and have appeared in an open air production of The Merchant of Venice. I have ample experience of costumed character work, theatre in education, singing and dancing and also modelling.
Currently I am appearing as Santa Claus in an immersive theatre event on The Polar Express in Norfolk. I am also acting in a film called Disrobed, in which I play a male stripper who is questioning his masculinity and place in the world.
I embrace new challenges and always love to meet new people - which of course happens a lot in this business!
