Way back in February 1999 my passion for film was ignited by being an extra on Gladiator with Russell Crowe. Acting lessons, more extra work, bit parts in commercials followed before life took another turn and I emigrated to France where I lived for 17 years. Despite having a distinctly Gaelic nose, my French wasn’t good enough for acting but now that I’m back in the UK I’m thrilled to be able to act again where I can create things that move and inspire people - and that is what motivates me.
