Seeking new acting representation. Recent screen & stage work: Odyssey (Gerard Johnson), Where I Can See Them (Lanre Malaolu), Frank Sinatra and My Dad’s Wig (Phil Pearson). DMs open / email in bio.

Extraordinary real life character observation just now in St John’s Wood. Man, late 70s, immaculately dressed. Speaking on phone: ‘Where are you Sir? I can’t see you Sir. I’m on the corner Sir. Can you see me Sir? (Now bouncing in agitation) I can’t FACKING see you Sir!’

Do you know what’s kind of scary? I asked ChatGPT and it gave me a very thorough answer 😬

Anyone here more familiar with Beth Steel’s body of work than me who can point me towards a monologue suitable for a 45-55 year old male? Ideally 2 mins in length 🙏🏼

I wrote something about my journey from a Leicester council estate into the performing arts on my website. Looking back I’m not quite sure how I managed it. Depressingly, it’s much harder now, adamfrith.com/worshipful-c...

Day 1 #TheatreSky

I performed a monologue from this in class at The City Lit in the late 90s. The teacher invited his mate to watch and give feedback who was none other than Ian Holm, the original Lenny!

Went to get some headshots done and the old dancer in me snuck out!

I think Rami Malek really did not deserve the booting he got in The Times and Telegraph culture sections. It’s almost like the critics got off on it. It became more about them. I thought Oedipus at The Old Vic was genuinely FANTASTIC. A shame some may be put off going and miss out.

One of the mini highlights of my performing career was getting to share a dressing room with Saracen and Hunter and doing a ‘most muscular’ pose off with them!Thankfully in the days before camera phones existed. You’d have had them on height.

#Oedipus at the @oldvictheatre.bsky.social is incredible. Visceral, democratised theatre at its finest. Acting, dance, lighting, sound & use of set all packing equally powerful punches. It’s a must see event. Go!

My partner has an American mother. She’s like a hound who sniffs out poor US accents on stage. Even from top actors. It’s crushing for me when I have a go! 🤣

Theatre lovers/folk - I have 5 paid Substack subscriptions (one month) to the excellent @exeuntmagazine.bsky.social to share. If interested DM me an email address and I’ll set you up 🙏🏼

Congratulations to the magnificent Anne-Marie Duff who has been made on OBE for her services to drama. I believe she spent some of her time as a student at Drama Centre being told she wouldn’t amount to much beyond some character parts. Her brilliance has proved them wrong!

Oh no! Spare a thought for a Leicester fan.

Being grateful for being here is such an easy one to take for granted!

Thank you John! 😊🙏🏼

4) All to say, to anyone who wants to hear it - this is a long game and resilience is very important. So is skilful action. Taking time out was the best thing I could have done. It just didn’t feel that way at the time. It’s certainly feels amazing to be back doing it! ✨

3) This year I have been lucky enough to audition for The National Theatre and land a small role in a feature film directed by one of my favourite British film directors.

2) Things just got too precarious and I had to do other, unrelated, things for nearly 14 years when I finally became more materially stable.

I never gave up hope or lost the belief I could return one day and do quality work at the highest level.
