Hello there! :-) I'm a British actor, screenwriter and director with 13 years experience (including Peaky Blinders, Doctor Who, The War of the Worlds, Zack Snyder's Justice League) and I'd love to be your reader and help make your audition the best it can be.

I was mentored by Sir Patrick Stewart and trained at Drama Studio London. I'd would love to be your reader and help make your audition the best it can be.

Not only do I bring my expertise in booking roles for prime time shows and movies, but I also have the perspective of a director and screenwriter after making the forthcoming film Screwjob with Shot of Tea Productions, and The Pay Day that features BAFTA winning actor Simon Callow.

I'll bring you a solid performance as a reader. I can of course give direction on top if you need it. I'm a big believer in bringing out your own natural and unique presence to every tape.
