THE MISSING, NEW BBC DRAMA STARTS 28TH OCTOBER

I have  cameo role in this production and I had the opportunity to act with James Nesbitt and it was great to watch him working.  I remember watching Bloody Sunday with my mum and I wasn’t sure if it was a film or a documentary because it was so realistic.  James Nesbitt has the skill to make you feel you are there in the room for real. It was like a masterclass. Here is an edited piece from Venessa Thorpe from The Observer newspaper and you can see the full interview here:- Interview with James Nesbitt For a television audience...
