I had wanted to post this from the balcony of my hotel in Rhodes, however, time was not on my side so instead I am writing from the sofa in my living room! I have just got back from Greece where I was playing the role of Jacob (the dad) in a corporate, customer experienceContinue reading “Fun in the sun!”

Last Thursday, I attended the inaugural session of Scene Gym at the Old Vic Workrooms, a new concept, which is the brain child of Julia Taylor and brings together actors, writers and directors to meet new people, try out new writing and also flex our acting/directing muscles. I was working on a play called The Club byContinue reading “Flexing my Acting muscles at the (Scene) Gym”

Last weekend I was in Cambridge playing Ratty in Toad of Toad Hall at the illustrious Trinity College as part of an alumni event the college was holding.  The event took place on Sunday and involved carrying out workshops with the children in the morning to prepare them to take part (yes, take part) in a performance after lunchContinue reading “What’s that the say about working with children?”

There has been a couple of things written in the press recently about the challenges of supporting yourself while trying to carve out a career in the Arts – whether it be as an Actor, Director, Stage Manager or, frankly, anything! I can well remember working full time at The Globe as a young twenty-something – sadlyContinue reading “When Two Worlds Collide”

So, over the last couple of days I have completed three different castings.  While this is obviously great, part of me wishes they wouldn’t – like the proverbial omnibus – all turn up at the same time! On Monday, I was up for a teacher in an educational video so headed into town for the casting beforeContinue reading “Castings are like Buses”

So, yesterday I completed my first real Acting jobs since my return (i.e. a job I had to go through a casting process to get the role).  It was an advert for a well-known high street bank and I was playing the role of Younger Removal Man (‘type-casting’ I hear some of you cry!). The car turnedContinue reading “First day back on set”

When I set out on my new career, I set myself the challenge of writing at least one blog post per month.  This was primarily to maintain my own personal focus on what I was actively doing to progress my career – after all if I had nothing to say then perhaps I wasn’t workingContinue reading “Feeling like a duck”

Incredible as it seems a year has passed since I started this adventure back in to the world of Acting.  It has been an incredibly exciting, invigorating, energising and, at times, petrifying experience. In the past twelve months I have secured representation from Evie Woods Management; completed my first Acting job; shot a student film; attended numerousContinue reading “One Year On”

I have got an agent! Yes, following a successful meeting on Tuesday I am now represented by Jo and Hannah at Evie Woods Management (http://www.eviewoodsmanagement.co.uk).  EWM is a relatively young agency (3 years) but has big aspirations, which I am delighted to be part of.  Clearly, those hours spent preparing the spreadsheet and sending emails paidContinue reading “Representation secured”
