About Me
I have recently graduated from University after studying a BA (Hons) Degree in Television and Screen Media Production. I love television and everything that is involved within it. I am a keen editor and can edit to a high standard using Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro.
I am down to earth guy and have a very addictive personality. I love being me and being the out going person I have become since University.
I have gained life experience but also key experience in the workings of a real TV studio! I understand and acknowledge how much work goes into creating a TV show and film and have hands on experience of this volunteering for a TV Production company in ESSEX.
I am currently training disabled adults into the world of media but where I really want to be is on TV! I can take on many characters with ease being able to do many accents such as Scottish, Irish, Indian, Northern and Southern England and many more.
Character wise I can play anything from a youngster to any age upwards, can also act with a camp voice so can play straight or homosexual.
I can walk without the aid of my wheelchair short distances.
I am very diverse and will play any role given the opportunity!

TV/Film, Theatre or Modelling Experience
I have made a few of my own documentaries and programs for student work and am currently working for a local production company on a feature film. I created and stared in their trailer which was used at this years (2008) Cannes film festival ). I was also a walk on part on the latest series of Beyond Boundaries as a friend of one of the main cast.!
I have recently appeared in the New Betfair.com web adverts for football fans.
Special Skills or What makes you Extra Ordinary?
I am not only keen to star in television I want to work in it too. I have so many great ideas for documentaries involving the disabled and story lines for big programs. I have always felt that disabled people are underrepresented in TV and Film today it is my aim in life to change this! I am extra ordinary because I am very funny down to earth guy who likes to think of him self has having an impairment rather than disability. Disabled is what im classed as by society. Enabled is what I class myself as! Im not dis-able to anything as long as I put my mind to it!!
