Matt Skinner Profile

I have been acting on and off since a child. First professional production was in George Bizet’s Carmen with WNO (Welsh National Opera). I have a performing arts qualification. Started working 20 years ago as an SA for a Welsh soap Opera.

Most recently I have played a night clubber in two kissing scenes in BBC’s Lost Boys and Fairies, a waiter in HBO’s Industry Series 3, a protester in BBC’s casualty and a student in a promo video for student accommodation.

I often get mistaken to be younger than I am (which can sound vain but I get asked for ID quite often).

I am gay so feel I would play a gay character more convincingly.

I have a Level 3 certificate in BSL (British sign language) so if I needed to converse on film with any Deaf characters, I can do this extremely confidently
