ABOUT ME

I was born in 1995 in the garden of England, my mother descended from Hungarian Gypsies and my father was a Roman Catholic. Throughout my life I have always been competitive and I try to succeed over and above at everything I do. At 16 years old I was awarded a boxing scholarship at the Frank Bruno Boxing Academy. A year later I was selected to lead out the British 2012 Olympic boxing teams and I led out Anthony Joshua when he won his gold medal. I subsequently went on to qualify as a boxing coach and personal trainer and ever since have followed a strict regime to make sure I’m in my peak physical condition for both my fitness and appearance at all times.

But my real passion is acting and I have really thrown myself into the industry. After training at the Actors Studio and following a semester in LA to study the fine arts and successful auditioning I have achieved amazing results by being cast in a succession of films. And my future looks assured too with potentially many more exciting roles to come…

MY TRAINING

Pinewood Studios – Over the course of a year I have been involved in various courses at Pinewood Studios. These courses have had a huge impact on my acting ability which I now look to improve even more by becoming a professional Actor. The courses have been instructed by current and past professional actors, agents, directors and producers that focus on a variety of training such as voice, movement, combat, and various acting techniques.

New York Film Academy – During my time training as an actor I was lucky enough to receive the opportunity to go and study at (NYFA) based in LA, California. The course I was on lasted a number of months and it was an incredible experience living and working in a place that has made so many of my idols achieve the things they have today. I hope to one day return for work in the near future and work with some of the people who have inspired me throughout the years.

The British Academy – The British Academy focuses directly on combat for screen, during my time training here I have learnt various techniques and routines for on combat for film, this training includes; unarmed combat, two-handed sword, spear, cutlass and sword and shield. This company has trained professional actors that have worked on films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars and Gladiator.

Silverstone Driving School – I recently trained in precision driving, this included a variety of techniques on a dirt track including power sliding, drifting, and various other manoeuvres. I look forward to passing more of these classes in the near future, using more powerful cars, extending my skill set and eventually using these skills on camera.
