July - August 2016

Here's the skinny on what's new with me

It's been a fun couple of months with a variety pack of great projects. First up was my whirlwind tour of Budapest, where I had got to film a lovely little scene with Chris Noth for Season 3, Episode 10 of "Tyrant." It really was a crazy trip as I had to fly out early in the morning, and shoot my scene later that night! I loved every minute of it though. 

 

My American friends can see the episode this Wednesday at 10pm on the FX channel. It'll be coming up later this month in the UK on Fox. I'm really excited about this one and hope you get a chance to see it.

I spent a couple days shooting a really fun music video called "Pull my Trigger" for artist Miike Snow. I got to be a dancing general for the Americans in a funny little cold war re-imagined theme video. We all had a lot of fun with this shoot and I think the results looks fantastic. (To see the video click on the photo to the left)

 

I also had the honor of shooting a short piece for BBC Newsnight on a terrible attack in Sudan. I and several other actors performed real testimony from the people whose compound at the Hotel Terrain in Juba, South Sudan was overrun by troops. It resulted in brutal treatment of the people involved, with some being killed. A truly sad story of the slow evolution of humanity which continues to favor violence above all else.

In happier news, I went to the screen for the short film "Longfield Drive", the film looks great and I can't wait to show it to you all once it's done with it's run on the festival circuit! Hopefully I can get the footage soon to at least show you a teaser on my showreel. 

 

That's it for now! Until next time, keep smiling, and I hope you enjoy your lives as much as I'm enjoying mine.

Finally, I did final ADR for Suspicion: Season 2 and the first show is not far away! I'm really psyched about this project and can't wait to announce the official air date.
