About Me

Hi, I’m Glen. Although I have had 25 years in the music business, I am relatively new to the acting world. For ten years I enjoyed travelling to Greece and Spain singing in Cabaret and working as a tribute artiste, and now maintain regular bookings in the pubs and clubs here in the UK. I am finding my new acting challenge very enjoyable. I was fortunate enough to begin in a very good feature film, and have been steadily progressing through various extra and supporting roles. I am lucky that music allows me plenty of free time to pursue my acting career, and also free time to audition at short notice. On a personal note, I have enjoyed travelling, having new and exciting experiences most of my adult life, and with hard work, I feel this chapter will be one of the most fulfilling and rewarding. Please consider me, and I will offer you as much as I can give. Best Wishes...

Employment History & Experience

Experience;
I have been a professional singer for 25 years, working the pubs and clubs in the Essex, Kent and London area. I’ve worked in Europe as a tribute artist, and managed clubs in Corfu and here in the UK.
More recently I have worked on Frank Harpers film 'St Georges Day' as part of the 'firm'. A typical London gangster type film with girls, drugs, football, fighting etc.
I was involved in most shoots over a four week period, sharing some scenes with the main characters, and delivering lines where necessary. I did much the same on a film called 'Piggy' in Eltham, and my most recent was as an extra in a feature called 'Welcome to the punch'.

I have just received news that I am playing a small part in the new SWEENEY feature film, so I may be working along side Mr. Winstone soon!!

I do enjoy this genre of film, where the storyline revolves around 'London lads', but I am interested in any role involving a gritty character. Ray Winstone being one of my influences.
I am a confident person, punctual and professional in attitude.

My apologies for the quality of my showreel, but I had to rush one for an audition. I had Ray Winstone in 'Nil By Mouth' in mind when I recorded it.

Experience & Qualifications


General Experience

Experience;
I have worked on Frank Harpers film 'St Georges Day' as part of the 'firm'. A typical London Gangster type film, involving drugs, football, girls, nightclubs etc.
I was involved in most shoots over a four week period, sharing some scenes with the main characters, and delivering lines where necessary.
I have finished doing much the same on a film called 'Piggy' (Currently being shown on SKY BOX OFFICE), and various 'extra' parts on other features.
I do enjoy this genre of film, where the storyline revolves around the 'London underworld', but I am interested in any role involving a gritty character.
In the latest feature I played a warehouse worker involved in a bullion raid in the new SWEENEY film, which was great since Ray Winstone is one of my influences. I am featured in the offcial Sweeney trailer.
I have been recently working in a speaking role (Playing a plain clothes police officer) in a farcical drama/comedy called 'EXTREME' with a respected director, and starring Caroline Quentin.
I also have experience in voiceover work and commercials (A new Vauxhall advert due out soon).

I am a confident person, punctual and professional in attitude.

May I thank-you for your attention, and hope we can work together in the near future.

Glen Stanford.
