Just 4 years ago and after a 45 year hiatus, I returned to the film set/stage as both actor and film producer. My previous experience was back in 1968 as an angry juvenile on the Television series 'People in Conflict'. Conscription into the Vietnam War finished my fledgling career I brought acting back into my life and am now ready for many different roles. I am fit, reliable, have transport and while I seek roles that are dialogue driven, I am happy to audition for anyone who feels that I have the type of look that will work well for their project.
Since being up here on Star Now for just over 3 years, I have so far been cast in and completed 32 different short films in both leading & featured roles. One of these recently won me the Best Actor award, is currently showing around the world and was included in Flickerfest 2013 as a featured short along side a Judy Dench featured short and one of the others in Tropfest 2013. As well as this, I played lead role in the winning film 'The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit" the 2013 winner of the 48 hour film project. have completed a photo/film shoot as a main character currently appearing within point of sale material, television commercial and online mocumentry for a well known national brand beverage product ('V' ENERGY DRINK) I have also just finished a featured role in upcoming feature film 'A Prince' and a role in upcoming feature film 'HALF DEAD'. In addition to the above, I have done a few paid and unpaid Voice Overs. My showreel is being put together as we speak and in the meantime you can view some of my work at the following links. Find me on Showcast in a rough cut opening scene from a film now in post where I play a Syrian political scientist and also check out the following performances.
