ABOUT ME

Okay...

I am an actor and I live in London (Queens Park to be specific - I love it) and a lot of my friends live near by. I have been acting ever since I was 11 (in varying capacities) Favourite films include: Sideways, Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation, King of Comedy amoungst many others. I also love the actor Paul Giamatti, Al Pacino (when he was younger although he has done some great stuff recently), Robert Carlyle and Eddie Marsan. I just saw Midnight In Paris which I LOVED.

I am also a HUGE fan of 60's soul music (specifically Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, Sam & Dave amoungst others). More recently, I have become near on obessessed with Robert Johnson (I am listening to him now as I write this - the song 'Crossroads' to be specific) who was the original Missisipi Blues Man - my god he was pure genius even though he (supposedly)) sold his soul to the devil. But how can music that amazing be described as 'evil'??

I am a country boy at heart. I am a farmers son brought up in the English countryside and have always been surrounded by animals growing up. I live in London now and have done for the past 11 or 12 years. I love London but it is nice to get back to the countryside once in a while.

What else? I gave up smoking 2 years ago now (I am very proud of this hence why I am mentioning it) and have no intention of ever smoking again. However, I am not bothered by other people smoking. My two flatmates smoke and its totally cool.

I meditate twice daily although I don't always stick to that hard and fast rule.

I have a dog called Banger who lives with my Mum and Dad (although they have shared custody as they are divorced but get on much better now that they are divorced!!)

I am not married.

I have no children.

I am thinking about moving to LA.

er...

erm..

Not sure if this completely sums me up but I think you the general idea!

PHILOSOPHY

'It's all a load of old bollocks anyway, so fuck it.' Thats the good 'fuck it' by the way, not the one where you literally do 'fuck all' if that makes sense..

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Glasonbury festival last year. It was the 40th anniversary and the sun shone hard. I have never been to a festival in my life and I possibly had the most intense amazing experience of my life and I will never forget it. Beautiful.
