🚨📣 MEET THE TEAM - PART 5 📣🚨
Lastly we have our very own Peter Stone @peterstone_1 performing the role of 'Alex'.
"Peter Stone is a Welsh actor now based in Greater Manchester.
Theatre: This year, Peter understudied Matthew Kelly in The Gap, a new piece written by Jim Cartwright, also starring Denise Welch—Peter assumes he was cast due to his similar age to Matthew. His other theatre credits include The Killer Question (Tour), The Four Horsemen (Tour), Bedam (CFL Art Cafe), Forever Eighties (JB Shorts 17), The Doppel Gang (UK Tour & Off West End Run), and Coward (UK Tour & Off West End Run), as well as numerous development works.
TV/Film: Peter has appeared in BBC’s Doctors and in the short films Grey Mare, Great Lengths, Bear (Rotoscope animation), Deluded, and the two-part series Chapter 1: Liv & Chapter 2: Zach.
Commercials: Peter can currently be seen in the CARWOW advert, where he would like it known that he’s a far better driver in real life than portrayed in the ad—he's even been trusted to drive the van on tour! His other commercial credits include campaigns for Sky Glass, United Carpets & Beds, and Iceland.
Peter has produced work with Just Some Theatre since its inception in 2012, when he and Jake decided to start touring new writing productions. This tour marks a significant point in the company’s journey, bringing both exciting and terrifying challenges as it embarks on its first tour without additional funding support. Furthermore the both Peter & Jake felt it necessary to make life even harder for themselves by not having a technician on tour with them and instead just doing everything technical themselves during the show!"

The Gap by Jim Cartwright
What an absolute joy it has been to work on this brilliant project over the past 9 weeks working with the lovely @denise_welch and #matthewkelly - directed by #AnthonyBanks.
Produced by the lovely folks at @hopemilltheatre
Met so many brilliant people over the entire project and kept sane by @lizzielj_h who was fantastic at her job + making sure i learned loads and @amygavv who I did one of my first acting jobs ever with over a decade ago... see you in another 10 years!
The photos are a mixture of the making of the show, the behind the scenes and one time we were asked by the director to laugh randomly whilst looking over to Ian McKellen at Oscars cocktail bar.
Now, back to the norm whilst I wait for the phone to ring for the next job. If anyone's hiring a 30's dashing, kind and all round lovely guy for any acting work, hit me up... I know someone!
Just wrapped on something new I think you can guess what type of products.
Cast by the fab team at @nicci_topping_casting

Big thanks to MUA @chloelouisegorton for making me look like someone running on more sleep than I actually have!

So time to give you all an update, not on my career but on my wardrobe and the fact that now when I go to the hairdresser I don't get my haircut as short anymore (FYI - now getting a minimum of 6 on the sides) - I's also like to add that my new hairdresser remembers my name, what I do, how to do my hair and is generally lovely, only taken me 31 years to find someone that doesn't fill be with dread when I book an appointment and she is far better that my previous ones (not just because of the above, but because she doesn't watch TV whilst cutting my hair, hit my head with a comb violently for no reason, have a pet budgie that she tries to incorporate into the ritual of my visit, have a pet rabbit runnign around my shaven locks on the floor... so yeah basically even though in these photos my hair hadn't been cut for probably 4 weeks I'm happy with now, yes this is like therapy - Also I now own timberlands so you can expect to see them in 90% of every photo I take in the future.
On a serious note I went for a shoot with @tombarkerphoto and what do you know after a dry spell of auditions I get two in two weeks from having some new photos - Tom said my timberlands need to look more dirty, personally I think they look better looking fresh and clean but time will tell.
Anyway hopefully for you all I'll post something other than some headshots at some point and I won't be ranting about how I'm happy with life choices such as where to get my hair cut.
Give it a swipe to see the second ad! - Here I am looking at my coolest point in 2021. During the Sky Glass Commercial shoot ‘Pixel Perfectum’. This is the second one I feature in as the Dad for the Young Wizard. I’ve been saying for years I want to get the part of playing the ‘Young Dad’ and now that I’ve had It I started my 2022 by buying some skincare stuff cause now I’m worried “What if I’m ageing too quick?!” 😳😂.
The past few months have been so exciting, in June I got to work with an amazing group of people in creating Sky’s biggest advertising campaign ever! I was cast as the Dad in the new Sky Glass commercials, some of which have been released and there is more to come!
Not only was working after lockdown again exciting but I got to spend three weeks working with ‘The Greatest Showman’ director Michael Gracey! Honestly it was so much fun and the entire team involved was amazing, especially my little temporary family @icamarshall & Kit Rakusen!
Shoutout also to Sasha for getting me hooked on the best moisturiser ever & Merika for teaching me that I don’t always need novelty socks to pull off an outfit!

My Instagram is just a place for me to show off how good I can look if I make an effort.... and if I spend time with a great camera, lighting and of course the one and only @tombarkerphoto
Now here's a load of hashtags in the hope that some casting director sits on Instagram looking through actor type hashtags and decides they want to cast me in a West End Play.

And last but not least #NewTaxYearNewMe
New headshot time!
I promise I do smile might upload them in a week or so if I'm feeling cute.
Thank you @tombarkerphoto for making me look presentable.
Can I have a job again please?
