I am a versatile and dedicated actor with nearly 20 years’ experience across stage, screen, radio, and immersive theatre. My work spans everything from classical roles to devised performance and large-scale TV drama. I recently played Bowden, a condemned convict, in the BBC/FX adaptation of Great Expectations (2023), written by Steven Knight and directed by Lucy Forbes, starring Olivia Colman as Miss Havisham.

I also worked on Jacques Audiard’s The Sisters Brothers (Annapurna Pictures) as Storekeeper Mayfield - acting opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.

Alongside screen work, I’ve built a reputation for dynamic and emotionally intelligent performances in theatre — including site-specific and heritage venues — and for leading workshops and interactive storytelling sessions in schools and museums. I’m also an experienced roleplay actor and communication skills coach, regularly engaged by NHS trusts, universities, and public sector clients to deliver high-impact, scenario-based training.

Based in Bristol, I bring warmth, versatility, and focus to every project I join — whether in front of a camera, on stage, or connecting directly with an audience.
