Biography / Personal Statement

I’m a London-based actor, originally from the West Country, discovering that sometimes the most interesting chapters of your life begin later than you expected. Acting has been a longstanding passion, alongside my interests in history and writing. Over the years I’ve built a career in business, sales, consultancy, coaching and education — experiences that have given me something I believe is particularly valuable as an actor: life experience. I’m naturally drawn towards characters with authority, status and history behind them. My casting type lends itself to clean-cut, commanding figures — senior military officers, judges, barristers, politicians, clergy, businessmen and other established professionals. But I’m equally interested in what lies beneath that exterior: the doubts, conflicts, compromises and personal histories that make these characters human. I’m currently working as a Supporting Artist in period drama, gaining valuable experience on professional sets and learning more about the craft and demands of screen acting. My ambition now is to develop from supporting work into speaking and principal roles, particularly in television and film, with a strong interest in period drama, historical stories and character-driven work. At 58, I’m not starting over. I’m bringing everything I’ve learned with me.
