Assassin’s Creed: Unity

A few days ago E3 was held at The Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Every year,  E3 shows trailers from new games.  I was keen to see what was coming out and really excited about Assassin’s Creed 5 Unity which is set in Paris during the French Revolution in the 18th century.   As an actor, I was quite disconcerted and also delighted about how realistic the graphics are.  The characters look so real, if it carries on like this, actors will be out of a job!  Take a look at the link to the trailer which has just...

TOOTH FAIRY

Last week I spent three days filming a short film called Tooth Fairy which was written and directed by Owyn Stephens.  It was quite intense and all the filming was done with the actors in a small room which was just a big box.  I played a cross between the victim and the baddie so it was very interesting crossing from one to the other. The Box. This is me and Kim Allan who played  the ‘Fairy’ and here I am in my rags, I have been let out for a break during a break sitting in my rags!  The...

MY GRAND DAD – JUNE 1944

I have done a couple of acting roles recently which involved the subject of war.   Archie Dobson’s War was about a boy, me, Archie, who witnessed what happened to his family when the war came and took away his father and other relatives and what seemed exciting at the time soon turned into something much more serious.  I also recently played a role of an autistic boy who along with a group of other children foiled a German assault in Harriet’s Army, which is due to screen this month on CBBC. My mum helped me with this article last...

HARRIS MANCHESTER COLLEGE, OXFORD UNIVERSITY

Last night I was invited to a dinner at Harris Manchester College, Oxford University.  I met a lot of interesting people and had a good look around the college.  It was just like Harry Potter when the Principal and other lecturers came in for dinner.  A mallet was banged on the table and we had to stand as they filed in.  We sat down to dinner after the head table had sat down and when it was finished the mallet was banged on the table again and all the top table filed out. I would love to go here and...
