About Me

I am an actor, theatre director, model and comedian and taught drama for 26 years as well as being a supportong artist for the last decade whilst teaching. I had a featured role on Rivals Series 1 and The Change Series 2. I have been the lead in three student films and supporting actor in another two and can perform a variety of characters and roles. I have modelled for Sun Life and St Joseph’s Hospital and performed and directed for stage many times. I have been in many commercials from Sky Bet to IBM with an array of hero roles. I enjoy being creative and contributing by improvising when on set, I take direction well and receive excellent feedback from directors on set. I write and perform my own comedy independently and as a comedy duo, Maxwell & Lane.
