I'm so pleased and excited to share some of the gorgeous work of @celie.nigoumi who took my latest headshots. I've got a super range of images that I'll share with you over the coming days.
SWIPE to see the beard vanish!

Did I mention I got new headshots and portraits done recently? Well anyway, I did, and I think they're marvellous.
What do you think they say about me?

Catching a time machine back to 2005 to when I made my short film debut as Christian in comedy 'Black Box' that followed the life and times of a suburban street in Cambridge from the perspective of a recycling box.
Produced by Emily Blickem
Directed by Kate Madison (@katemadisonis )
I learned a lot from this job, not just screen performance skills but also set etiquette (setiquette) and checking parking signs extra carefully to avoid sneaky fines from Cambridge City Council.

Super job wrapped on 'Procedure', a short film from the exciting new team at @watmacproductions
Set in 1976, PC Elaine Carter (@claire_riecol ) has a choice to make between personal and career-changing options.
PC Barry Evans (me) isn't the nicest smiley chap in the group photo! 😬

#Commercial for the new all-singing, all-dancing, all-cooking Masterbuilt #BBQ!
I play to my strengths here as an incompetent, comical not-cool character who doesn't own the new grill.
Great video produced by @matchboxfilmco for @masterbuilt
Shot in sunny Chippenham when it wasn't quite yet summery!

Here is the second highlight of my arse modelling career. This time for Transport for London, or TfL as they like to be called to sound hip and in vogue, as the kids say.
It's probably a good thing they didn't photograph my face as we had to cycle up and down that road quite a lot of times, so I would have been gurning and puffing and that's not a look that says, "you should do this too".
My arse, however, stayed the same throughout the shoot as it's more professional and fitter than my face.

Where it all began for me! In a 2005 in a print advert for Avery labels,
> Shot in London.
> The other model is called Rob Beswick (don't ask why I remember that, I just do!).
> It appeared in OK! magazine alongside an article about Katie Price.
> I think I was paid £400 for the half day shoot.
> It is one of two print ads featuring my bum!

Lovely to get official confirmation of me smashing my MA in Comedy Writing. This is genuinely the first time I have got a top grade in anything ever.

As I make my way back into performing and re-entering the world of stage and screen this year, I wanted to test, stretch and flex my stage acting muscles for the first time since performing at a sell-out Watford Palace Theatre, directed by Sir Alan Ayckbourn, way back in 2014. (Final 3 photos)
That was on a run that saw me play leading roles in two of Ayckbourn's fantastic farcical plays at numerous wonderful, packed and large theatres for several months and was one of the most brilliant experiences of my life.
Now, twelve years later, I'm warming and working my way back to having a career as actor/writer by taking the role of Dame in our fabulous village panto!
They were again full houses, only this time each was just over a hundred people, which is incredible for a tiny village in the middle of nowhere who haven't put on a pantomime since 1955!
Here's a few backstage photos of me and some of the other cast who are all totally amateur actors, some performing for the first time ever, but were a joy and delight to be with on stage.
Hopefully people won't be saying all my success is "behind you"... 🤞🏻🎭

This was my first ever paid professional gig in front of a camera - a 2005 print commercial for Avery sticky labels. It appeared in OK! magazine (amongst other places) alongside an article about Katie Price. I knew, there and then, I was destined for stardom.
If I remember rightly, I was paid £450 to not show my face! 🙈😂🍑
And if my weird brain serves me right, the other bloke is called Rob Beswick.
