This is long and there’s no TL:DR, so if that bothers you, either go grab a drink, or stop reading now. I’m not sure i’ll send a link out on social media for this post; I haven’t so far for any other posts. This website has always been a site that I use to pour … More Our Flag Means Family
I know i’m just shouting to the void and that no one will ever read this. But maybe one day someone will, and it will resonate with them and it will help them. I’m not going to advertise this blog because my own self-esteem issues prevent that. I’m getting better but it’s still an uphill … More We are the music makers
In late July 2020 I got the chance to audition for a role in the forthcoming Treyarch game, Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. I guess they liked me, because I booked one of the lead roles for the Multiplayer, Zombies and Warzone modes, that of the dude in the green balaclava, ‘Harry Stone.’ … More Eighties, I’m living in the eighties
A couple of years back I decided that I wanted to get more into voice acting, having dabbled with it in the past but not really pursued it much past a few bits and pieces here and there, a couple of voiceovers on commercials, that sort of thing. I enlisted the help of a sound … More “My voice is my passport. Verify me”

Creep LA and Just Fix It Productions have been a staple part of Los Angeles for a while. In January I was fortunate enough to accept a role in JFI’s latest run of ‘The Willows’, directed by Justin Fix and written by Daniel Montgomery. This production is a well-oiled machine, requiring actors to be completely … More ‘The Willows’
I’m upset right now. I love America. Since coming here for the first time in 2011 on vacation, the place captivated me completely. That was the point where I realized that this is where I wanted to be. This is where I wanted to live and work. This place is amazing! The people I have … More Pay it Forward
This question comes up again and again when I talk to other actors about my passion. When I start to wax lyrical about how awesome both my commercial and theatrical agents are, and how incredible my manager is, the actors without an agent or manager ask for my advice. Yes there definitely is a better … More How to get an agent
So if you are reading my blog (and there’s no reason for you to be doing so as this is merely the ramblings of a Brit trying to make sense of his life as an actor in Los Angeles), then you might know I am in a theatre piece for the Hollywood Fringe Festival this … More Dark Arts – Hollywood Fringe Festival
Another feely post. Skip over it if you want. Sometimes I must put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard, if you will), to vent my spleen over something. I’m tired, stressed and just coming through the tail end of food poisoning, which will all affect how I think and feel. Coupled with this, we … More An Actor’s life for me!
