| 6 yrs ago I was diagnosed with cancer and the prognosis wasnt great so I went on a round the world trip after nearly 12months of treatment. It was while I was in Sydney, Australia that I had the opportunity to work on a TV pilot with some actors from a TV show I am a huge fan of (FARSCAPE - Jim Henson production) I had my head shaved for the role and sported horns!! and my hair had only just grown back after chemo too :-) after this I was so inspired I decided to come back and train to be an actor. I havent looked back since. I turned professional in the Summer of 2007.
I have a sporting background including competing for UK for 3 years in water sports winning 4 Gold medals at the World championships and other medals for the UK. I Led an expedition across the Andes on horseback. Sailed across the Atlantic on an 100yr old boat, World traveller. Working with all types of animals, trained horses professionally for years. Keen Gardener. Love food!! | |
