I came from England to study at Trinity College, Dublin in the 60s, and never left.

Having spent more than fifty years living and working on the island of Ireland, I've had a variety of jobs and come to acting later in life via academia where, as a lecturer in UCD, I learned performance skills were essential for communication with an audience.

I wrote and performed my own one man show, taking it to Edinburgh via the Dublin and Windsor Fringes in the 1990s. Over the years, I played in many fringe theatre productions. After training in the Meisner Technique, I turned my attention to film. Beginning with roles in “Ripper Street” (Court Bailiff) and “Games of Thrones” (Citadel Meister), I have been involved with film work ever since. Most recently I played Judge Francis Shaw in the feature “Dublin Crust” and the German émigré, Albert, in the short “Missing You” - both films winning festival awards, and “Crust” gaining a national cinema release.
