Introduction:
Studied English at Oxford, then trained as an actor at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. 33 years' experience of radio, stage, film & T.V, including appearances in "Eastenders" "The Bill" and "Doctors".

Starred as Toad in "Wind in the Willows" at the Old Vic, Boris Johnson in "Who's the Daddy?" at the King's Head Theatre and as Dame Dolly in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" at the Princes Theatre, Clacton-on-Sea. Last year I played Winston Churchill in two movies "De Gaulle" and "Sardar Uddam Singh".
