for make-up checks and delighted to be a part of this huge production and superb cast and got a particular thrill from being surrounded by so many American 1980s cars used to turn the city into New York for a week. From what I have seen this is going to look brilliant and a huge thanks to my agent Carolyn Cutler and to Casting Director Michael at Nina Gold for this opportunity. Am loving
every second of it! I had a break for a couple of weeks, so it was back to playing dodgy MSP Ewan Ford in David Wilde's CRIMELORD series in Glasgow city centre and more fun scenes to get my teeth into. Great to hear that both this series and David's other feature film COLD-BLOODED KILLERS have also been snapped-up by Amazon Prime, as has FAST ROMANCE, directed by Carter Ferguson, so I now have 4 different projects airing on Amazon Prime by the end of the year.
Shot above is taken from the CRIMELORD shoot this month. This episode will air in January 2018 on Amazon Prime. Then back into pirate guise and more excellent live gigs at Greenock, Glasgow Garage and finally Edinburgh Three Sisters. Photo below courtesy of The Garage, Glasgow.
Happy to have reached the milestone of 50 live events as the mercurial Sir Henry Morgan and have enjoyed each one of them immensely and a huge thanks to Karen Cunningham & all of our team at RPM over the last 3 years. Photograph below courtesy of IAMVIP at the Three Sisters, Edinburgh.
Then off to the amazing West Wycombe House in High Wycombe for night shoots on Sky Atlantic series PATRICK MELROSE with a stellar cast and our wonderful Director Edward Berger and Crew. Utterly thrilled to be working with the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Jessica Raine, Gary Beadle, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Tim McMullan, Margo Stilley, Georgia Maguire, Julian Firth, Bruce Panday
and Morfydd Clark in a rather sumptuous location and of course, in fabulous Highland costume, (Hunting MacGregor tartan, in honour of my Highland Ancestry!) Huge thanks to all the cast and crew for making me feel so welcome and thrilled to be a part of this wonderful production.
And after an unforgettable night shoot at this stunning location(photo below courtesy of Gary Beadle) it was back into the car and a long return drive to Scotland for an extra CAPTAIN MORGAN
live gig at Edinburgh's THREE SISTERS followed by another at ATIK in Edinburgh and the end of another successful run this year! Delighted to have booked more of these gigs in January 2018 and nice to already have more work in the diary for next year. Then straight into a week's rehearsal of
our Christmas Show LITTLE ULLA and lovely working with Clare McGarry and Bill Wright again. We worked together last year on ALADDIN and got to rehearse on our fantastic set on day 1!! A few furious days work and into our first preview show at Barmulloch Community Centre in front
of an invited audience of local children, who all really enjoyed it and a great start to our busy 20 venue tour in December. So a big thanks to all of the wonderful, helpful and friendly staff once again at Barmulloch Community Centre for a second year running, for looking after us all so well.
Been a tough week and a really busy month but very satisfying having worked with some great people again and to still have a full diary of work for the remainder of the year. And I am always learning , picking up new skills, pushing myself and working hard on my stage-craft in all of these different mediums in order to become a more well-rounded performer. Also very pleased to see my 'back catalogue' of feature film work finding a new audience this month on Amazon Prime!
