Melbourne based actor and voice artist
My Bio
I grew up surrounded by a love of theatre, cinema and music, and have successfully pursued a career in the arts in various capacities, including considerable experience in front of the camera.
Perfect for Thug, Criminal, Drug Addict and Neo Nazi types, and on the other end of the spectrum, the Kindly Dad, Farmer or Tradie. Cop, Soldier, Office Worker and Hipster Barista are also well within my range, and I am particularly suited for Action Sports and Outdoorsy types. I live for the outdoors, I have spent all my life kayaking, rock climbing, abseiling, mountain bike riding, snowboarding, inline skating and more recently scuba diving. I love Old School Hip Hop, and I know it's weird but I am a big Vanilla Ice fan. My dream came true back in 2008 when I not only met him but worked with him. On his next visit to Australia he asked me to be his DJ and backing vocalist at his performance at V Fest in 2009. I have been his Melbourne contact ever since.
I run a company Samurai AV. In the early days we worked in electronics servicing, event production and building radio stations but now we are a Film and Photography production company so you will find me on sets most of the time even when I am not in front of the camera.

My Voice
I have been voicing commercials, corporate videos and short films for the last 15 years. You can listen to my voice demo here
I never was able to do karate. That's calling me a good actor. I act like I can do anything.

Howard Fine Acting School - Scene Study
During the course I was lucky enough to be paired up with the very talented and experienced Canadian actor Andee Frizzell, who has had recurring roles in Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Atlantis. I learned as much from her as I did from the course. We really delved into the backstory of our characters, creating the world from which we had come from.
