Bio

Age: 43
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 85kilos

Originally a singer from the age of sixteen I came into acting more by accident than design around ten years ago. Beginning with musical theater I rapidly progressed through more traditional theater and eventually on to film.

Acting is an absolute passion of mine now and I pursue it vigorously.
