General Experience

I have been in corporate sales for most of my working life, but now wish to build a new career as an actor. I started looking into the industry in Jan 2011 although I had had some limited experience in the past which had given me a taster.
Since May 2010 I have been working as a freelance photographer, but from the beginning of the year I have been focused on finding opportunities that would help build experience and ad value to my CV. This has resulted in some interesting projects and some positive feed back on my skills and ability. I have been told I do have some talent, real potential and a natural ability. I am now therefore totally focussed and driven on developing my career as an actor.
March 2011: My first role in a feature length film. I cannot give too much detail at this stage, but it is a low budget movie to be put forward for a few film festivals. This was a psychological thriller where I have a supporting role. My character was the sports writer in the office of a newspaper. I was fearless and did not put up with trouble makers and the office bully, but totally under the thumb of my wife. I had 2 key scenes where I lose my temper with 2 colleagues, but then put the office bully in his place by protecting a colleague and an outside scene where I get attached outside the office and left for dead.
Feb 2011: History channel production by Title Role Productions Ltd. The production in a series of documentaries called “Britain’s Biggest Heist’s”.
