Simon Manley

34 from Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
Actor
An opportunity in March 2010 to appear in a feature length documentary directed by Turner prize winner Gillian Wearing has changed my life forever. I love acting and am passionate about all aspects of film, but appearing in this film has opened the floodgates. I have featured in music videos, numerous short films and also several feature films, with a dedication and hunger that has even taken me by surprise. I just love all parts of the process right up to the finished article. That brings me to where I am now. I'm not the finished article. Subsequently, I have quit my day job and now live in London with a will to be as good as I can possibly be. I am taking courses in Meisner and Method, to make official what is within me and I feel like a new person, inside and out. I'm living for my passion, I'm living for acting.

I have had featured roles in music videos, I have had featured roles in several short films and I have had featured and supporting actor roles in various feature films. I am training in Method and Meisner, I am endlessly enthusiastic and hopelessly passionate about the process of filming and things I have done for pieces include wading in mud and water in the cold, through the snow, lying around on concrete all day after nightshift, shaved my hair off and lain naked on a beach. Please read the recommendation section of my profile to get someone else's view on me and my approach. I love a challenge.
