Acting, Actor, Film, Horror, showreel, The Zombie King, Uncategorized, , , ,

Hi folks! A long time since my last update – I’ve been living through crazy times, (I’ll save the details for my autobiography) but I’m out the other side and loving life.

I’m all set up with the latest technical bells and whistles to create Showreel Magick for you actor types…. Take a look at my Showreel page and get in touch if you need more info, contact form at bottom of this post….

King Of The Dead UK movie release soon…
(known as The Zombie King in some parts of the globe)

Our movie staggers zombie-like, ever closer to a UK DVD release… It’s showing as available on DVD from August 24th on the website.

I’m a zombie-killing milkman. What more could you ask of a film, really? I’d urge you to buy it and revel in my glorious talents….. 🙂

Bex and I had a fantastic time at the 25th Festival of Fantastic Films where THE ZOMBIE KING had the UK Premiere.

Met up with fellow actor George McCluskey and producers/actors Jennifer Chippindale and Rebecca-Clare Evans, filmmaker Natalie Kennedy, actor/comedy genius Emma Kenny Kennedy – and a whole bunch of Fantastic Fans, including Stephen and his sister, and bunch of really nice guys, one of whom was an engineer…. he mentioned that quite a lot. I wish I could remember names 🙂

A new episode of What The Heck? – the joys of Henderson’s Relish

Actor, Food, TV, , , , , ,

Well hello kids, hope all is well with you and apologies for the lack of news here…. it’s been pretty quiet…

But that’s good, because it’s given me time to finish the 2nd episode of What The Heck? – my mockumentary series.

Hendo's lover
Click the Hendo’s bottle to see the video!

This episode is all about Henderson’s Relish, a Yorkshire treat from Sheffield, manufactured there for over 100 years. Sheffielders love it, but other folk think it’s just a Lea & Perrins clone…. which annoys the people of Sheffield, who use the nickname Hendo’s for their favourite condiment.

So, I’ve taken a look at the product, the history and some of Hendo’s famous fans – including The Arctic Monkeys, Sean Bean, Jessica Ennis, David Blunkett, The Everly Pregnant Brothers and more.

Please take a look, click Like on the YouTube page (if you do like it) – and Subscribe if you like the cut of my jib!

And if you have a question you’d like to get the What The Heck? treatment, contact me!

Now, what can I do for you?

Acting, Film, Short Films

Hi folks! I hope all is well with you and that your summer has been full of fun and relaxation…. if only I could say the same for mine! A few nice auditions but acting work has been scarce, so it’s been a frugal couple of months.

I know I need to promote the other stuff I do – so here we are, a nice shiny new video for your viewing pleasure!

Showreels, short films, documentaries, promos, event filming, actor headshots – I can do it all!

Please message me if you’d like to chat 🙂

Look inside my body….

Family, health

After 3 weeks with my leg in a cast, I went to the fracture clinic today to check on my progress. They took an x-ray, poked my tender foot and said I needed 3 more weeks in a cast, though I’ve gone down to a smaller ankle to toe cast. My calf feels cold now and my ankle is aching after not being used for 3 weeks.

I had a moment alone in the consultation room to take a picture of the x-ray – here is the offending left foot from 2 angles….

It’s the long bone on the left that’s broken, the 5th metatarsal.

Life has been slower since the break. I can get around the house ok now, but need two crutches outside and everything takes time. Showering requires a garbage bag and masking tape. Despite the pain, it’s actually quite relaxing to have enforced “Put your feet up” time and I’m trying to make the most of it.

I broke my foot!

DOH!, Family, , ,

In the least spectacular accident EVER, I managed to break the base of my 5th metatarsal falling off my pushbike. I was going really, really slowly between the house wall and the car and I passed the balance point, put my foot down…. but it slid under me and I fell. There was pain. Then there was Bex saying, “Don’t move, let me get a picture.” Here is that picture…

117_0615Here’s the leg now in my bright red cast

I’m getting around quite well really and I have mastered the art of showering with my foot in a bin bag attached with masking tape. Always a treat.

The doctor told me it will be some weeks before I am back to normal, in the meantime I am just taking things very slowly. Which is actually a rather nice change of pace for me.

Thankfully the car is an automatic so I can still drive, I just take my time with the crutches when I am walking. I can’t go too far as yet, but I’m not complaining.

 

Finally restored all the old Blog Posts

Computer, Family

My host service suffered a major server problem back in May and, though I was able to restore most of my site, I lost all my old blogs.

I have finally managed to restore them all and, with the exception of a couple of photos I can’t find now, I have brought my history back to life!

Now I can actually start blogging again!

LOST BLOG – REWARD

Answers to the name of Skipper…..

Alas and alack…. after a major host server failure many of my domain files were lost, especially those relating to the blog. I’ve restored most of the site, but the blog will take some work…..

Bear with me dear reader and hopefully old posts will be back soon
