About Me

I'm a compassionate person, I love performing. I want to be a good actor because as I grow I feel I get better, and the only way to continue this is to practice, hence my want for work. I don't care about fame, I just want to be better about the only thing that's ever really set me apart from people skills wise, if only by a few metaphorical centimetres.

Relevant Skills

I act and help with productions at University and absolutley love putting on performances. In October I will be directing Peter Schaffer's 'Black Comedy' with the University Theatre Society.

I've so far had one of my poems published here: http://alliteratimagazine.com/2011/03/01/excuse-me-while-i-put-you-on-this-pedestal-by-william-sebag-montefiore/

I'm good with people and believe that my best attribute is making people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Interests & Hobbies

I'm really in to the theatre, obviously and enjoy all the standards: film, tv, music etc...
I'm in to fitness and am a committed runner. I read a lot, love to write and enjoy playing around on my guitar. Although I'm not sure my housemates agree.

Miscellaneous Information

The two things I find most important in life creativley - i.e in relation to performance, writing and general creating - are:
1. That passion is the most important thing. People without passion are people without purpose.
2. 'It's the truth even if it didn't happen'. By this I mean that stories don't have to be true to carry the same weight, gravity and emotional impact.
