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.

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.
