The GGR film is back on and I start filming in late May and early June 2010. It’s taken two years to get to this stage and I’m looking forward to playing a boxer who dies and becomes a ghost!

Over the last couple of months last year I did a Stand-Up Comedy course with the infamous Amused Comedy. I’ve got to say it’s one of the best things I have ever done. I graduated in Dec 2009 and here’s a clip of my very first 5 minute set. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNY8K_-6fmU

Still waiting to hear whether we have the money secured on a film project I have just been cast in. Fingers crossed.

I have updated my Showreel to included my part in “Beautiful People”.

Hi there, my Burger King ad is currently being re-run on UK TV at the moment. Whoo hoo!

This is quite simply the best dance/circus troupe I ever seen. Go see it!

Sister Sarah and I went to see the show “Be Near Me” at the Donmar Warehouse in London last week, on opening night. I really didn’t understand what this show, by the celebrated National Theatre of Scotland, was about. I suspect that it would say more to Scottish citizens than it would to English theatregoers, and although I did leave in the interval, I now regret that decision. The acting and staging were excellent, but the dramatisation of the book by Andrew O’Hagan had its flaws and didn’t spark my interest. Never mind.

A couple of night’s ago, I was fortunate enough to bag a ticket to Russell Brand’s try-out show at the Soho Theatre for his upcoming tour. It was great to see him in an intimate venue again. The first time I saw him was four years ago in a comedy club above a pub where he was the headline act. This was just before he fronted Big Brother’s Big Mouth and he was mesmerising. He was brilliant on stage, again in an intimate venue having the audience eating out of his hand. He is a consummate performer and his success is justly deserved.

PS Of course he used the recent controversy in his act, it’s all material to him!

As an actor, it is imperative that you take classes to hone your craft. I have booked a couple of classes and I’ll let you know how I get on.
