After a varied 'career' which included surveyor, IT consultant, photographer, taxi driver  management/after dinner speaker (I was President, of theProfessional Speakers Association 2004-5) and more,  I decided to become an actor. Training included working with The Actor's Temple,  Anna Scher, Mel Shaffer, John Cremer and Brian Timoney.  (Oh, and I secured a LAMDA bronze medal sometime in the last century.)

Roles have been varied - serial killer, loving husband, suicide risk - currently settling into patriarch/grandfather/tycoon with a dash of gang boss -  but my favourite gig is Father Christmas! Every December for the past eight years and many more to come, I hope.
