December 2024 - The Diary

 December started with a raft of new scripts to read for projects next year and all really promising stuff! A final roleplay with Glasgow University and then to the National Theatte Of Scotland for a rehearsal and costume fitting in advance of my next shoot. Delighted to finally work with the NTS and Director Jack

Willison again on his new film CHRISTMAS AT CUNNINGHAMS. No panto for me this year and this was just as much fun to be involved in! A fab cast that includes Catriona Faint and Anne Lacey and lots of friends in the Crew from previous jobs made this a memorable gig. We shot the film in a day down in 

Greenock and had a ball doing this madcap Christmas heist caper. I play Murphy, a career criminal taking his young apprentice on their first robbery. Lets just say we chose the wrong house to rob! A great script and fab performances from all and a total gas. Love working with Jack, this one being our 11th film

together, having worked on DON ALFONSO CHADWICK, LAUNDERETTE, POCKET, EVERY LOVE STORY, SNOOKERED, A FRIENDLY MAN, THE LEAF BLOWER, TUG, WAKEY WAKEY, and the multi-award winning BAD BEANS over the years! Always great fun working with Jack and Sean Campbell from Dropshack Films and an utter privilege to finally work with the National Theatre Of 

Scotland at long last! The film was then released on the 24th of December and you can watch it online here https://www.nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/christmas-at-cunninghams?fbclid=IwAR1TuDxK4an9c64Ovx7cKH7sNOqwr5R16czJyrrIc608CSWltu0l4TtPMOk

and went down really well! Thanks to everyone at NTS and to Jack for another great job. Then back 

on set with PSYCHO SEX DOLLS for a pick-up day of shots we missed on the first shoot and this time Randall's Antiques at The Barras doubled for Damien Self's apartment and film studio. A brilliant location

that really aided the look of the film and thanks to Andy and to Smokey Trotters restaurant nearby for providing a fab location and hospitality on a freezing cold mid-December day! Great to finally get the film wrapped and all of my outstanding scenes in the can and great too work with David & Stevie again!

Irvine Welsh popped through to Glasgow to reunite THE HELLFIRE CLUB with the brilliant Gavin Mitchell and another lovely dinner at our 'clubhouse' Sarti's. Thanks to all of the staff for another

great evening and was a real laugh catching up with both chaps once again (pictured above). End of the acting year for me and a return to Zico Fashion Boutique for the Christmas rush and delighted to be joined by one of my favourite footballers of all time, Man Utd and Celtic striker Brian McClair once again!

Great fun catching up and more good news as we opened up a Zico concession in The Leith Collective at The Glasgow Fort Shopping Centre this month too. Thanks to everyone I worked with this year. Been mad busy opening the clothing business, starting a new clothing brand and managing to complete filming on 

9 screen projects this year. Huge thanks to my agent IAM for presenting me with lots of opportunities yet again and really looking forward to what 2024 has in store. Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

November 2023 - The Diary

 Straight into another slew of roleplay work in early November in Glasgow & Edinburgh with various clients including Glasgow University, The Wheatley Group and NHS Lanarkshire in week one alone.

Then back to Edinburgh and a fab week-long shoot on David Wilde's new Feature Film, entitled PSYCHO SEX DOLLS. I play a failing porn film director who orders AI Dolls to utilise in his movies and to try and

save his studio and career, but with disastrous results! This was a brilliant experience with a great cast and old pals in the crew, shot on a micro budget in only 7 days! Having worked with David on RUN, CRIMELORD, BLACK HEART and COLD BLOODED KILLERS over the years it was great to be

given another leading role in film with the part of Damien Self in the fab Studio 128 in Leith and an absolute joy to work with Stella Paris (pictured above) and Emma Cole and Jamie Jones as 'The Dolls' as well as the rest of the Cast & Crew. A tough, non-stop shoot and a brilliant script and story, a real

vintage Exploitation Film with a twist and one of a trilogy of features to come. The film will be out in the Spring of 2024 and you can follow it's progress on PSD FILM Just time to squeeze in another GU Medical School roleplay to round off a very interesting and diverse month of acting work! Also received an offer for another excellent Short Film which shoots next month & a for another Feature Film in February 2024.
