Actor, Director and Voice Artist
Christchurch, New Zealand
About Me
Originally from the UK and UK Theatre School trained, I am an experienced actor now based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I have worked on TV, stage and film. I've also worked behind the camera, and have edited stuff ranging from16mm film right up to using Adobe Premiere, so I'm familiar with what works on screen. I caught the acting bug at an early age, playing my first role (of Santa) in a festive version of Sleeping Beauty at Primary School. After many years away from actually performing, I quit my job as a Drama teacher, and returned to my main passion. I act where and when I can, while trying to avoid the men in white coats…
