About Me

I am currently working towards a degree in drama at Queen's University in Belfast. I am nineteen, but look and sound younger than I am, and often get confused for being 15 or 16. I am very enthusiastic about acting, whatever the role is. I genuinely enjoy acting more than anything else.

Employment History & Experience

Paid Acting:
I have had one paid acting job, which has been for Queens University Belfast. I portrayed two defendants in a video for law students to analyse for an assessment.

Non-Paid Acting:
I used to attend Sheridan Stage School in Newry, and performed in two shows with them. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (Role: Peter Quince) and "A Christmas Carol" (Role: Jacob Marley).
For Newry Musical Society, I was in "West Side Story" (Role: Snowboy) and "My Fair Lady" (Role: Barman). With Bosco Drama group, in Newry, I was in Beauty and the Beast, where I was the Baker, as well as a villager/background dancer in other scenes.
For Drama in grammar school, for my GCSE performance I played Billy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". For A level I performed monologues from "Blood Brothers" (Role:Mickey) and "A Streetcar Named Desire" (Role: Stanley), and for my final A level performance, performed as Micheal/Father Jack in Friel's "Dancing at Lughnasa".
I recently performed in a student film, for Belfast Metropolitan College. I was a character, who was a fun-loving drug addict, called "Eddie".

Employment History & Experience

None of my work as an extra was paid.
I was an extra in the film "A Christmas Star" (2014). I had gotten to the final auditions at BBC studios, but didn't get the main part I was going for, so was instead offered the role of an extra, which I happily took.
More recently, which was earlier in 2019, I was an extra in a short film called "Last Orders", produced by Lacada TV. I was in the Night Club scenes.
