About Me

For years i used to act in church stage plays as main male lead or supporting lead. I am now focused on main stream acting & have started to feature in a diverse number of roles as lead or supporting roles e.g. Smart Villain, Medical Doctor, Smuggler, Villager, etc. in main stream productions.I have spent the better part of the last 12 month in various formal trainings e.g. at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (London),passed my British Academy of stage & screen combat 1 Rapier & Dagger course & passed my British Academy Of Dramatic Combat 1 armed & unarmed actor's combat courses .

Presently, I seeking new amazing opportunities in movies & TV. I believe this is a major time in the movie and TV industry & I am continually training & striving to portray the stories that i am privileged to be part of.
