About Me

I'm an ex-musician with a PhD in psychology who's done bits of acting on the side for the fun of it. Visually I can run the gamut between being hideously ugly and weirdly attractive, between being cretinously stupid and reasonably intelligent, and between lovely chap and deranged maniac. Oh, and I'm also a joy to work with (but I would say that, wouldn't I). Give me a shout if you think any of that might be suitable for your project - my availability is pretty flexible, just as long as I'm not out buffing my Porsche with a chamois leather until it gleams (damn auto-correct. That's supposed to say paunch not Porsche).

Other Information

Relevant Skills

As well as my psychological qualifications I have a great deal of experience in the world of music. I can also write to a very high standard and have just finished writing my first novel. I'm from a working class background and also spend years working as a carpet fitter - so I have great deal of experience in dealing with people from all walks of life and all sorts of background. I grew up on a council estate and once worked for the Duke of Westminster - it's all the same to me.

Interests & Hobbies

Music (playing and listening), literary fiction (reading and writing), Film and drama (watching and participating). Plus obviously psychology. I also used to make a decent fist of playing left-sided mid-field for various local mateur football teams (if that's any use).
