I was born in Bolton, Greater Manchester in the UK in 1948.

Over the past 40 years I have worked at Hotels and Holiday Camps, travelled the world as a Radio Officer, repaired computers, worked as a Technical Customer Support Manager and an IT Consultant with Hewlett-Packard.

After completing my drama training at Bolton College in 1990 I acted in over 40 theatre productions. I have also directed productions during this period. I have performed in an array of dramatic and comedy roles in productions ranging from Ayckbourn to Shakespeare. I have been trained more recently in The Meisner Technique of acting.

I appeared as the Russian Ambassador Krushkin in the feature film THE LERMONTOV EDITION and as Husseini in the 2006 feature film O JERUSALEM. I have had featured parts in 5 short films. Television credits include work for the BBC, Granada and Channel 4 and I have recently been in the BBC3 series BURN IT, NO ANGELS (Channel 4), MINE ALL MINE (ITV1) and the soon to be seen JANE HALL'S BIG BAD BUS RIDE (ITV1).
