September 2018 - The Diary

A thankfully busy old month and after a run of 14 unsuccessful auditions, finally landed a few good roles! Began another RPM contract touring as the mercurial CAPTAIN MORGAN around Scotland and the North Of England before heading back to Glasgow's Pollock Park to shoot a trailer Short Film for Paul Darroch's excellent ONE NIGHT IN FLANDERS.

Thanks to the brilliant Matthew Crawford Russell for the photos and excellent uniforms! I play Captain Higgins in this future web-series and the trailer will be released in November. A superb shoot with a great cast and fab crew and nice to work with Paul again after 8 years! Then out that evening 

for more raucous laughter with Irvine Welsh and John White, who kindly presented me with my props from T2 TRAINSPOTTING !! Thanks to the staff of Sarti's in Glasgow for another wonderful night in celebration of the big fella's upcoming birthday! Much Montepulciano  had been inbibed

by the time this shot (above) was taken! Then off to the lovely Melia White House, London for another excellent COLOPLAST UK Roleplay gig with the usual gang and straight back to Glasgow for more meetings and more work booked for 2019. Then it was back into pirate mode and gigs in

York and Carlisle with CAPTAIN MORGAN. Great fun once again and great to be back out on the road doing live Club events with a new team this year. Thanks to Popworld, York for these photos!

And still time to cram in another short film appearance, playing Gabe in David Carswell's excellent debut film HATCHES,MATCHES AND DISPATCHES in Greenock with a great cast and crew, including Chris McQueer, Graham Campbell and Sarah McCardie, shot by Andy Samuel and Alan

Cromar of Tall Tale Films. 6th film I've done this year and slowly racking up the credits and screen time again and have high hopes the work done this year will find an audience via the various film festivals in 2019.
