About Me

I am an actor based in central London. I am frequently cast as businessmen, scientists and other white-collar workers. I have a natural talent for comedy, which I have honed in an extensive career as a cabaret performer and compere.

I have written a feature-length screenplay and several shorts, and am currently researching my second feature.

I regularly contributed and presented small programmes for the BBC from 2007 - 2010.

My Equity number is M00273726.
