Work - Supporting Artiste
It has always been my ambition to become an actor. When I
was at primary school I regularly produced, directed and played (often the lead
role) in many of the school plays!
 My
1st Cousin is actress Dora Bryan (nee Broadbent) and in the 60's and
70's my parents often pointed her out in films, on stage or in TV shows
and commercials when this talented lady was at the peak of her acting
career. Perhaps this family link sowed the seed that was to inspire me
to have the ambition to become an actor in later life.
When I retired from full time work in the police in 2008
I started to take on extra and supporting artist work in film and TV. At
the moment I am doing this much has a hobby rather than a full time
occupation and some of the work I have done so far is unpaid. However,
to date I have some interesting jobs and worked with a number well know
TV and film stars.
The work isn't frequent and I have also attended a number
of auditions that have been unsuccessful. Nevertheless, I am gaining
experience at a rapid pace and coupled with attending the Paul Nicholas
School of Acting one a week I am building up many skills and gaining
much confidence.
I have to say I'm having a tremendous time and even if I
continue to do background work I will never get bored as the work is
fascinating and even the smallest part presents a different challenge
every time!

Ryan Arrested - Emmerdale 2010
Channel 4 Ident - Blackpool
To be picked to appear on a Channel 4 TV Ident (Played as a filler between programs) is one thing but to be the subject and star of it was another. The clip has been played since October 2010
through into 2012. It probably appears on Channel 4 two or three times a day, every day so I can say that I have appeared on national telly every day during 2011! I am the cool dude in the stripy
top by the way!

for with their own plans that just aren't up to his expectations. Written by Rick Mcleod
