About Me
I am a 25-year-old actor, based in Sussex. I graduated in 2023 with a BA (Hons) in Acting and Performance at The University of Creative Arts. I am currently very active as a support artist in TV commercials, music videos, TV dramas, documentaries and in feature films including MCU productions at the major film studios and on location. I have played featured roles in reconstruction T.V. documentaries, short films, vertical dramas and annual immersive events.
Prior to University, I studied Drama /Performing Arts and Modern Dance at South Downs College, the Gielgud Academy of Performing Arts and also attended Dance, Musical Theatre and Drama workshops at New York’s established Performing Arts & Dance Schools.
I enjoy playing comedy characters but can confidently adapt to being cast as the 'guy next door' or in more dramatic, dark and devious type roles.
I am a member of Spotlight, Equity and BECTU. I hold a full clean driving licence and have my own car.
