D.O.B: 8 September 1941

Although active in community and professional theatre for many years, its only fairly recently that I have entered the short film genre. During 2004 I had lead roles in top-notch productions made by second and third year students of  Griffith Universitys Nathan and QCA Southbank campuses, Moreton Bay Institute of TAFE and Queensland University of Technology. The eight roles were all very different and challenging, ranging from a kindly old toyshop owner in Luis A Brans Perfect, for Queensland College of Arts, a histrionic theatrical director in Miranda Watsons Oh, for a Muse of Fire (Griffith University - Nathan), an Irish gangster boss in Peter Collins 1950s-set film noire, In The Wind (Moreton Bay TAFE), to a lecherous European financier in Fehraz Lateefs spectactular High Fashion project (QUT).

Working with these talented young film-makers of the future has been a real buzz, and I hope to do more in the coming years.
Ive also appeared in a couple of tv commercials and a music video for the band, Future Native. Recent stage roles include Fred Gusev in the Chekhov one-act play, "The Night Before the Trial for the Gold Coast Little Theatre, and the "ultimate sugardaddy", Abner Dillon, in director/choreographer Robert Young's dynamic presentation of 42nd Street" for the Gold Coast Arts Centre in 2003.
