About Me

I’m a professionally trained actor based in London, with a BA in Acting & Stage Combat from East 15 Acting School and musical training from Switzerland. Recently, I worked on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, gaining first-hand experience on a major feature film set. I have extensive background in immersive theatre and physical performance, with a focus on realism, emotional depth, and precise movement.

My skills include stage combat (certified), screen fighting, singing, and improvisation. I’m fluent in English and Italian, with a neutral international accent and the ability to perform in multiple dialects. Physically, I’m athletic (1.85m / 85kg), experienced with historical and fantasy settings, and confident in both dramatic and action-oriented roles.

I bring discipline, adaptability, and a deep understanding of character psychology to every performance — whether for stage, screen, or immersive environments.
