March 2020 - The Diary

March started off just as brightly with a glut of self tapes and auditions to keep me busy, and again it was back into the old motor to zoom up and down to Londinium for more face-to-face castings for some excellent projects. Exhausting, but Glasgow-Edinburgh-London-Manchester- Glasgow in 24 hours was the highlight!


Here's a wee preview of the self tapes recorded and the palpable exhaustion in my face after another 1000 mile round trip!


Spent more time on the motorway this month than ever and hopefully it will all pay off ?? Some really exciting auditions and am again beginning to book in work for this summer which is already looking every bit as good as last year.


Home for more tapes and then...back on the motorway yet again! Confirmation of a feature film in July and delighted to have landed another cracking wee cameo in another. Booked a commercial in London and travelled down to Enfield in North London to shoot it, this time staying overnight in a


the local Travelodge and arrived in cold and wet conditions just as talk of the Coronavirus hitting Britain began with worrying figures. Another good fun shoot with a brilliant crew for the latest
LEGAL & GENERAL ad in another excellent location (pictured below).


However this was to represent the last acting job of the current period. Only a few days later the whole industry was shut down, and remains in lockdown as I write. There was just time to reunite with my old sparring partner from the HIGH ROAD days, Andy Cameron, as we recorded a fun


episode of our Shoot! The Breeze football podcast. As expected, Andy was in great form and was such fun catching up and chatting about the old days and of course, all things football. The episode
will be out next month and I will post a link when it airs. And so, what was a very positive month


ended in these awful and unforseen circumstances. But it all pales into insignificance as the death toll began to rise in the UK this month and thoughts and prayers to all of those affected and to the brave NHS staff who are fighting the virus every day x
