Skills/Previous Experience: I can just about ride a horse, I have been a both a teacher and police officer, At one time I worked in BBC local radio (Nottingham, Leeds, Durham) doing voiceover, short programmes, anchor and continuity work, and other Station Assistant roles. Now retired. I was an extra for "Song for Marion" in 2011 and in 2012 was co-lead in a film "In Control" and had a speaking part in "BackTrack", another film, both made in Sunderland. Recently filmed with a speaking part, a film, "Cog Wheel Ranch". I also appeared in the Stoptober anti-smoking campaign in 2012. I also played a Waffen SS soldier (older Hugo Dresner) in "Soldiers of the Damned" and more recently filmed "Death comes to Pemberley" for BBC1 (scheduled for Christmas 2013) as a courtroom character. Front row though! Personal Summary: I am confident, well spoken, literate. I have been told I look "distinguished". I have been doing acting work for a few years now with a friend. As I had done no acting since schooldays, this has opened a new world to me and I enjoy it.
