Personal News (29/08/11)



Blowing Whistles is, at least for now, over. I'm still hoping and hopeful we may get another run at it later in the year. In the meantime we have had a couple of nice reviews including Whatsonstage (I'm described as exceptional and impressive) or remotegoat.

I also filmed a furniture commercial this week (I know, selling out already) and if that ever appears on the internet I link it for you. I have two shots at a very nice table, partly interacting to the voiceover, all in all about 5 seconds of screentime, which took over an hour to film.

Personal News (15/08/11)

Just one week to go now and rehearsals for Blowing Whistles are going really well, although I freely confess I am utterly exhausted most of the time. Especially if I've been going at it on the second half - essentially 40 pages of arguing with co-star Haydn Holden.

Tickets are selling fast however there are a few left (buy them here) so if you're interested in seeing this frenetic, funny and provocative play examining what it means to be gay in 2011.



I've also recently been cast in another fringe production, Celluloid by Lloyd Eyre-Morgan from Dream Avenue Productions, I urge you to join Dream Avenue on Facebook in order to keep up with events. We've had the first readthrough and it's a great script with a superb cast (most of whom make me feel very very old) and should certainly be worth catching later this year.

Blowing Whistles update (Personal News - 25/07/11)

Just a quickie to let you all know that rehearsals for Laced Banana's production of Blowing Whistles are coming along very well, as a cast we're really clicking into place and there are some very exciting touches coming from the director Amy Derber.

Tickets are now available from the website: http://www.lacedbanana.webs.com/ and I really do urge you pick them up before they sell out! (But of course I would say that!)



I also attended Surviving Actors convention on Saturday, which was a great way to Network and see some interesting and varied presentations from various arms of the business including casting directors and Spotlight professionals. If you're an actor and it's running in a city near you I can heartily recommend.

Personal (04/07/11)

Happy Independence Day (I thought I'd get that out of the way for my US readers).

I've been very remiss of late, and not keeping you up to date with the Fringe castings I've attended (mainly because I keep getting rejected) however the good news is last weekend I was offered the role of "Nigel" in Matthew Todd's Blowing Whistles, produced by Laced Banana productions.

Described as a frenetic, funny and provocative play on love, life, and the internet, BW will be shown as part of the Manchester Pride Fringe festival on 22 and 23 August. Tickets can be obtained here.



The picture above is most of the cover art, which maybe gives you some indication of the tone of the piece. It also acts as a daily reminder that I must work out more...

I have also been a very busy boy this weekend sending out my CV and headshot to 35 UK casting agents. Frankly I'm exhausted - but if even one gets back to me with a potential job (especially given a couple are working on films I've mentioned right here on the blog) it'll be worth it.
