So my first ever film script has made the long list for the slick films fund. Even if it doesn't go further it's validation that I really can make this happen!

I am very very grateful for all the self tapes coming in. For many years it was a dream to have 1 a month and now I average 2 a week. However, dear universe, I'd love a few more of them to be for TV ( and especially to have a few soaps in the mix) Throwing it out into the ether...

I'm in a Co Op soo I get to see the Spotlight breakdowns that go to agents. The last two breakdowns I saw that were perfect for me in age and casting type both got a push from the agency. The replies to both said they were already out on offer. How do I ever get a foot in the door?

First of two self-tapes this week. This time for a new BBC comedy series and yet another happy, friendly or enthusiastic role. There's a theme somewhere here...

Just because you can never see too many fluffy animals. Lambing weekend at Moreton Morrell College in Warwickshire.

It's easy as an actor to think you haven't had the break because you're not good enough. Today I have been emailing Casting Directors from the soaps because I'm a flipping good actor and jolly nice person and at some point one of them will realise it and send me a self-tape.😁

Well the Silent Witness tape didn't land me a job this time but awesome to get in front of the team. Next time...

I did. But I kept the same name 😁

Debbie is wonderful. Catch her Eps for the next 3 days.

I've been away for a bit but working hard behind the scenes. Some incredible castings have been sent my way including a very well-known period drama and a couple of recalls for BBC films. Mum's house is finally on the market so I'm ready to start pushing even harder for that elusive first TV role

Rather exciting to have a self-tape audition for an especially popular period drama series (even though I've never seen it because I can't afford Netflix)😄
