I'm an award winning, British born character actor returned to the stage after a lengthy absence. This time around, I have expanded into film, television, commercials and voice work as well as further developing my love and passion for the stage. In addition to my performance activities, I have written and produced several children's plays focusing on bringing traditional British pantomime to Canadian audiences, re-imagining traditional tales including Cinderella, Aladdin and Jack and the Beanstalk. With several films in post-production and some iconic brands under my commercial belt (Budweiser, Toronto FC, Curling Canada, NHL, 3M, Playstation), I am looking for the next role to propel my acting career further forward.

As my resume suggests, I am a versatile actor with experience in stage (from drama to comedy to musical theatre) and film/TV with various acting roles including Lead and Supporting roles.

Through my commercial work, I have represented several well known brand names including Budweiser/Toronto FC, NHL and 3M including being the brand ambassador for Curling Canada for 3 seasons as time-travelling Scottish Curling fan, Angus McStone.

My voicework (not all listed in my resume) has included character work for animation and radio plays and also voiceover and narration for corporate and product explainer videos and TV/film including an award winning Virtual Reality short film. My accent range is vast.

TV & Reality

I have been involved in several episodic docudrama's recreating various stories including alien abduction (Close Encounters), hauntings (Paranormal Survivor) and gold heists (Gold "The Eternal Quest").

I have also been interviewed for several local news channels (CHCH, Cogeco, Rogers) to promote my theatrical work.

Film & Stage Crew

My first on screen role as Lucifer in Dancing with the Devil (a short film produced by the Humber film program) has really increased my desire to be in front of the camera. Having worked both sides of the stage and camera, I know what to look for, know what works, know how to get the shot or performance out of my actors and know when to shut up.

I have experience with producing and am a regular video director (IMAG) at a multi-site church. I have been the video director and a camera operator for several concerts, conferences and cultural events including beauty pageants and graduations although I'm looking to be in front of the camera rather than behind... unless it's another beauty pageant.
