About Me

Originally from Basingstoke, I have been a postman, a cinema projectionist and worked on numerous production lines before I came to Manchester to study Acting.
My passion lies with Television Drama and the history of Television production.

I have a good facility with the English language, handling complex syntax well and possess a large vocabulary.

In 2007 I underwent heart surgery which was successful and was one of the best and most enlightening experiences of my life.
