I am a Member of Equity with a wide range and depth of life experiences from which to draw inspiration, as an actor I am skillfully able to play a range of parts from father figure, to professional person, law enforcement officer , to hardened and violent criminal, demon and a down and out slob. I also have a very good sense of humour and comedy timing. I am experienced in films, theatre, TV and web commercials, corporate and training videos including professional role playing.
Having served in the military and being masters degree educated, I am professional and reliable and a team player. I am an experienced horseman and having been cavalry trained I am also a proficient instructor in mounted skill at arms. I have been placed in the ribbons at many uniformed equestrian competitions over the years. My experience includes having designed, performed and given commentary at public shows in mounted skill at arms displays and have been on various uniformed mounted parades.
I have undertaken advanced training in TV and screen acting classes in London. I continue to do workshops and I am a member of the Actors' Centre in London and the Actors' Guild.
