Actor | Artistic Director | Founder of The Actors Class

​

I’ve been a professional Actor for over 25 years. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to work across Theatre, Television and Film, including the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare’s Globe, The National, The Old Vic and in the West End.

Throughout the busy times & the quieter ones, one thing has always stayed the same: the importance of being in a room with other creatives, staying match fit & keeping that feeling of inspiration alive that reminds us why we started this career. 

That’s why I founded The Actors Class in 2012.

I wanted to create the kind of room I’d always want to return to. A place where Actors feel inspired, supported and encouraged to be brave. A place where the work comes first, where everyone is treated with kindness and respect, and where Actors can continue to grow, whatever stage they’re at in their career.

I’m incredibly proud of what The Actors Class has become. Hundreds of Actors have trained with us over the years, with many going on to work across Theatre, Television and Film, secure representation, gain places at leading Drama Schools and build long, successful careers in the industry. Just as importantly, we’ve created a room that so many Actors continue to return to, because they love the work & the people in it. 

Whether you’re taking your first steps as an Actor or have years of professional experience behind you, my aim is always the same: to challenge you, champion you and help you become the strongest Actor you can be. 

Above all, I want every Actor to leave the room feeling inspired.

​

I hope to welcome you into the room soon.
