ACTING

Yes, I played “Mac” in Doom.

It’s the question I’m asked the most, and I’m as honoured as I am taken aback that so many people loved our film, and that I'm still asked about it some eighteen years later.

My journey into acting began with song. I was a chorister at school, and rather näively, I thought that it would somehow be easy for me to make the transition to musical theatre. All the same, many acting courses and exasperated dance teachers later, I was fortunate enough to make my professional theatre debut playing a lead role in Anything Goes - the biggest National Theatre show of that year.

A fellow actor from our West End run has often reminded me of something I said to him one night after I exited the stage. I told him that the next thing I wanted to do was to be in a movie where I had a big gun. And it happened. Only months later, I found myself in a stellar cast heading for Mars to kill mutants. As you do.

But all this wasn't just down to luck. Beyond a huge outlay of faith, funds and determination on my part, there are many who I owe my acting career to: my friends and family, tutors, casting directors, directors and producers, and most importantly, you, the audience. A big thank you to you all - I am very grateful.
