I've been a Doctor Who fan ever since I was 4, when I first began watching with Peter Davison as the Doctor. I was hooked ever since and have had the good fortune to meet Doctors 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 10 over the years. Doctor Who was responsible for my wanting to become an actor and work in film and TV. I've dabbled in and out over the years but am focussing on my own projects and stand up comedy at the moment.

Doctor Who was also a gateway drug into areas of fantasy and horror. Whilst growing up I became a massive horror fan. I was fortunate enough to book Clive Barker for a documentary we where making about Liverpool (back in 1999). I also met Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface from the original TCM) at a double signing with Dave Prowse. Unfortunately this was when Chainsaw was still banned and most people where there to see Mr Prowse.

Thanks to Showmasters I've the opportunity to meet other stars of my favourite cult and mainstream movies.

My favourite films include Big Trouble In Little China, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, VAMP, Clockwork Orange, The Wicker Man, Creepshow, Nightmare On Elm Street and Three Businessmen (a very obscure Alex Cox film but well worth checking out).

My favourite musical artists include, Oingo Boingo, Devo, Scatman John, Sparks, Electric Six, Mike Oldfield, They Might Be Giants, The Cuban Boys, The Attery Squash, Depeche Mode & The Buggles.
