About Me

I am 36 years old, with a history of working in the House of Commons, and also of homelessness and Heroin Addiction.
I have put both politics and drugs firmly in the past, and moved on to pursue my true love - acting.

I particularly enjoy performing in dramatic plays. I would love to undertake TV drama work.

My weight has varied from 14 stone down to 7 stone. As I bodybuild my weight now varies from 10-12 stone. I find it easy to lose and gain weight. I have muscular arms and shoulders. Totally comfortable taking my kit off.

oh, and I'm terribly funny.
