About Me

I am a Yorkshire man born in Hull. At an early age I became involved with theatre and drama. I would attend competitions in acting, poetry, mime, duologues, prose and Shakespeare. When I was regularly winning these contests, I decided to consider acting as a career. I acquired a BaHons degree in acting at Manchester Metropolitan University. From here I picked up an agent, but unfortunately the volume/pay of work would not allow me to get a mortgage so I had to very reluctantly leave acting, and take my 'fix' as a hobby.
Despite plenty of theatre experience, I have also had a small role in Emmerdale as 'Gary' in 1995. There have been several background appearances in 'Heartbeat', 'A Touch of Frost', 'Portrait of a Marriage', 'Emmerdale' and 'Casualty'.
My personal preference between TV and Stage would always be the intricacies of TV.
