About
Great acting often comes down to your relationship with yourself. Self exploration is the key to courage in my opinion. All the good & the bad parts of us are the key to understanding other characters. The work is about becoming comfortable with what you find in yourself & becoming familiar with the unfamiliar. I think this is what contributes greatly to engaging & honest performances. My approach is at its core, self discovery born from the scripted word.
To reverse the question, I believe you start to work in this industry the moment you truly start to enjoy the work you do.
I feel it's also important where you can to work with drama teaches that are working actors themselves.
Please check IMDB (International Movie Database) for my recent films. They include co stars with Nicole Kidman, Antonio Banderas, Joseph Fiennes.

How did you get started teaching?
I was helping fellow actors & word got around & I decided to structure a class format in response to peoples benefit. It grew very organically & I now continue the trade along with my acting career.
What types of students have you worked with?
My youngest student was 10. My oldest was in his 70's. He decided he wanted to try it again & we took an incredible journey together.
I've worked with actors just starting out, working actors and those looking to get back into the industry after a break.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I was offered a wonderful romantic/comedy lead in Russia. When I arrived in Moscow I discovered it was also to be played entirely in Russian language. My leading lady spoke no English, so we had to rely soley on connection of heart to tell the love story. I am very proud of that film on numerous levels.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a working actor. Someone who has experience, that works regularly on film, television & in theatre.
'Film makes you famous, Televion makes you wealthy, Theatre makes you good'.
I use improvisation as a tool & this is based in theatre. We set out to achieve all three!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
It will all lead back to what actors you like, what movies you like, what theatre or writers you might like & in the process many more questions will come up & answers will be found.
