About Me

Am now retired but neither look old or act old and I would like to carry on in the entertainment world and although my last appearance was in Oliver about 5 or so years ago I did think that being an extra would be just what I am looking for. Walk on are good too. Also would be interested in modelling the older guys clothes maybe or other things.

Employment History & Experience

I started out on the stage or should say back stage when I was about 17 and learnt such alot from the Stage Manager. From there I progressed to taking part in pantos and small reviews. I learnt dancing although I always did have good movement at the now closed Roscoe Dance School and I took the part of a dancer in the dance troupe backing the principals. When I got older I started taking character parts and chorus work in many musicals from Calamity Jane to the G&S operettas. I also choreographed small intimate concerts where I usually took the lead in the production numbers. I am now willing to try anything from extra work to walk on work to modelling to commercials etc. I am very smart in appearance and I will consider any work offered. Thank you.

Employment History & Experience

I started out as a dancer in a troupe backing stars on stage and was very good at it and loved it but now I am older it would have to be not very strenuous - movement could well be better than jive now.

Employment History & Experience

I would love to work as an extra these days. Now I am retired it would be ideal for me. Extra work I did when I started out in the theatre back in the 60s and it could well have changed now but I soon pick things up so I am sure that there would be no problems there.

Experience & Qualifications


General Experience

Am knowledgable on stage work and as I said in the initial question I have been acting/dancing since 1964.



Qualifications & Training

I was lucky to have a stage manager back in the 60s who taught me all I know about the stage these days and I also enrolled at the Roscoe Dance Academy up north where I am from. Rep companies were quite common then and that is what I joined. Sadly like the dance academy now gone.


Other Information

Relevant Skills

Again I know the stage. I know how to walk and to show myself to the best advantage. That is why I thought modelling might be ok. But that is basically the skills I have.

Interests & Hobbies

Theatre, reading, walking, and much more.

Miscellaneous Information

I really cannot think of anything else to what I have written above.
