About Me

Certificate in Actuarial Techniques. Analyst programmer as my day job. Probably not interesting to you but at least I can help you with any IT issues while I'm waiting for a shoot.

I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself; hey, if they're going to laugh anyway, I may as well.

I do have a day job so I need some notice but they are good about taking time off.

Friendly, easygoing, good sense of humour even if not everyone likes puns.

Qualifications & Training

Up to grade 5 in Speech and Drama at school. Just enthusiasm to take me through after that.


Other Information

Relevant Skills

Can dance, can't sing. Can act a little. Superb at accents so long as you want Noel Coward or a 1940s BBC presenter. Otherwise, you take your chances.

Also done lighting, stage management, directing so at least I understand other people's issues.

Interests & Hobbies

Reading, particularly fantasy & science fiction, playing bridge (if it's good enough for Omah Sharif, it's good enough for me).

Also black belt second dan in judo. Been ballroom & latin dancing on and off for ten years, salsa for about three (but rusty) and a few lessons in Argentine tango, leroc, Scottish dancing, street dancing, belly dancing (OK - only one of those). Part of the world record for the largest number of couples dancing the waltz.

Miscellaneous Information

Pluto is now considered a planetesimal rather than a planet.

Oh, sorry. You mean about me. No, I think I'll let you find out the rest for yourself.
