About me
I'm looking mainly for extra/supporting artist/walk on work and role playing in Immersive Theatre events and would also like to be considered for speaking roles for theatre/TV/film.I have ongoing paid experience of Immersive Theatre at Shrewsbury Dana prison, in their Halloween scare events and Cell Escape and Prison Break events.
I have a small amount of unpaid experience as an extra.
I have over 30 years experience of amateur theatre and haven't been typecast, I'm quite versatile and can play all kinds of roles, I particularly like doing character parts.
I'm based in the West Midlands, have been DBS checked and have my own transport, so can travel.
