New Showreel Promo!!!!

I’ve had a fun day putting together a new promo for my showreel services…. I hope you like it, feedback appreciated!

If you want to discuss showreels, send me a message!

Now, what can I do for you?

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 🙂

Crumps!

Hello dear reader, I hope summer is treating you well.

I’m hoping for some nice film or tv work this summer but in the meantime I’m making a few shorts myself.

Here’s the first. Bex and I shot this a couple of days ago. Enjoy…. You’ll want to eat crumpets afterwards….

Warburtons like it, favourited and re-tweeted!!!

On Emmerdale this Friday, May 9th

Hi folks! No updates for ages, but things are starting to pick up. I hope.

I have a brief visit to Emmerdale and The Woolpack on Friday playing an Elvis Stripper to entertain the hen party!!!! Don’t worry, you won’t see too much…. Me in a white jumpsuit is quite enough.
Just a short scene but hopefully memorable.

This isn’t my first Elvis. Far from it….. Here’s a couple of pics from my Live Bait Theatre days and the wonderful Elvis Presley is Alive and Well and living in Sackville by Charlie Rhindress

How does a chunky chap from Yorkshire keep getting roles in the famous white jumpsuit????

 

Still hobbling….

It’s five weeks since I had the cast removed from my broken foot and I’m still getting some pain.

I went to see my GP yesterday and he sent me for an X-ray to make sure the bone had consolidated properly.

It still looks broken to me, but the Dr at the fracture clinic says it’s over 50% mended so it’s fine.

People tell me this is a Wayne Rooney injury, but I don’t see me pulling on an England strip for a while yet!

I have my foot back!!!

I had the cast removed from my foot yesterday after 6 weeks of hobbling around.

It’s wonderful to be free of the cast, even though my foot still feels tender. I’ll be walking with a crutch or stick for a while yet I think, though I can walk around the house without. Uneven surfaces outdoors are a problem!

Showering without a bag taped over my leg is wonderful and it was a lovely sock-free sleep – I had to wear a sock on the right foot as the cast had a cheese grater surface that woke me up when my feet rubbed.

Now available for acting work again!!! Please!!!!!

Look inside my body….

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!

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…

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

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!
