Recently stared in a small part in my film production HYDE.
I have had acting and dancing training and experiences from Southdowns College and Bedhampton Art School since i was 4 to 18.
I was taught at my Uncles acting school in London ‘Dudley Long’ who wrote a series called ‘L for Lester’ whereby I learnt so much about the setup of film and theatre.
Thirdly; I studied Performing Arts and Dance at Southdown’s College – furthermore, have a dancing background - originally Break Dance, though I adapt to every style to endeavour my versatility.
To understand people in all walks of life, serving 15 years’ service in the HMS with 8 Operational tours and endless countries, equals - I understand the multi culture and brevity of the world and people – therefore, to encapsulate a charterers’ intensity and mindset.
Firth; I did stand-up and singing, to audiences over 400. Wrote and recorded my own songs, to which performing in front of a large audience or being relied upon when 'Action' is called = I won't freeze!!
Sixth; I completed one of the toughest armed body guard course ‘Ronin SA’ in the world, protecting Swedish and Norwegian Diplomatic Ambassadors traveling around the world, though mainly located in Baghdad. Here I saw and understand how diplomat and noble dignitaries hold themselves and communicate.
With all of these concepts, I feel that I have the ability to fit many character roles/profiles to which you may require and moreover, now I have the first hand 'credible' insight how to 'walk with kings nor lose my common touch' - all integral assets to have whilst ensuring that your characters is 100% believable/credible to the/your audience.
I summarise with my acting experiences and qualities which I will offer you as varied across the spectrum. All these have taught me discipline - to be trustworthy and reliable yet more so, professional at all times without waver. I may not have the shiniest accolades, but I do have life experience, which I feel sometimes counts for more. You can teach and learn from a book, but you can’t be taught experience.
