About Me
I am a former trained actor (Guildford School of Acting), educational director, and trained teacher (Drama/Theatre Studies) who recently left teaching to pursue my own freelance work. As a part of this I am interested in working as an extra. I am focused, good-natured and friendly, with a good understanding of the creative process and the importance of teamwork, concentration and professionalism. I have a little experience of working on a film set, having worked as an extra on \'Elizabeth\' (with Cate Blanchett/Joseph Fiennes).
