"The play's the thing....."

I began my acting career immediately after completing an honours degree in Theatre Studies at the University of Chester. It was an exciting 9month tour in 1996 with Riding Lights Theatre Company around Britain and Northern Ireland. It included a mini tour of France with further venues in Barcelona and Sweden and culminated in me receiving my Equity Card. Since then my career has brought me into the West End with The Buddy Holly Story and continued to send me afar; whether it be the National Theater in Oslo performing at The Ibsen Festival, a residency in Vienna in a murder mystery play, a Ridley Scott Hollywood movie shot in Morocco or most recently, an international tour of Mamma Mia!

I am an actor of both stage and screen. As an actor musician I am principally a double bass player but also can play guitar, bodhrun, basic trombone and drums. I am also available as a voice over artist. Please see my resumé for the details of my experience and skills.
