About Me

My acting career began when I started charity work, when I was 15years old for Great Ormond Street Hospital in London.
We worked as a team doing westen showâ¥uro;?s for charity called the Westen Generation Show Team who use to go around the uk on tour acting out stories from the old west.
After that I joined a drama group in my home town where I lernt the skills of improvisation, propâ¥uro;?s plus working from a script and some stage hand work.
A short time after my drama teacher was finding it hard to get the funding for our group and in the end it sadly had to shut down. Following some family issues I moved away to Peterborough, to proceed my career.
I joined up with a group called the Harlequins Theatre Group at the Key Theatre in Peterborough where I performed in â¥uro;?Hereward The Wakeâ¥uro;? as Herewardâ¥uro;?s saxion warrior son , â¥uro;?George And The Dragonâ¥uro;? as a extra, â¥uro;?Sleeping Beautyâ¥uro;? as prince charming for our christmas panto.
About a year or two later I decided to move back to Essex where I live today.
I then joined a group called the Phoenix Theatre Arts in Barking Broadway Theatre, where I Perfomed in many other productions such as â¥uro;?Bugsy Maloneâ¥uro;? as Knuckles, â¥uro;?Outside Edgeâ¥uro;? as the flashy smart-ass lawyer Alex, plus the christmas play â¥uro;?Humbugâ¥uro;? as Tiny Tims brother Peter & the part of the toy maker.
A remenberable perfomance was â¥uro;?A View From The Bridgeâ¥uro;? as the second immigration officer.
â¥uro;?Decar Danceâ¥uro;? as the barman.
After my time in charity work, I moved onto paid work in the Kenneth Moore Theatre in Ilford Essex where I learnt to conduct sound and light checks, and follow spot . It also consisted of constructing scenery, basic adminstration works, and keeping the stage area maintained.
Iâ¥uro;?ve also learnt the box office and customer service.
I have had some great experiences in theatre and acting throughtout my life and now I would like to pursure into doing some TV work etc and learn more within the entertainment world.
