About me
I am a 32 year old actor based in Northern Ireland. I graduated from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2014, and was awarded a Distinction and the school's Embassy Scholarship for exceptional merit.
Since graduating, I have performed in national and international touring productions of 'A Christmas Carol', 'The Secret Garden', and 'The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes' with Chapterhouse Theatre Company. My other work includes 'Measure for Measure' (Heady Conduct) at The Rose Playhouse, 'Party' (Bridge Arts) at The Pleasance in Islington, 'LoveStuck: A New Musical' (Curious Tales) at The Cockpit, several Audiobooks for Audible and the RNIB, and a workshop for 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' at the National Theatre Studios.
I most recently appeared as Drums in the Comedy-Horror Feature Film, 'Murder Ballads: How to Make It in Rock 'n' Roll', written by Mitchell Tolliday & Neil Rickatson, directed by Mitchell Tolliday, and starring Simon Callow.
