Hoo’s yer hoose?

 

This is where the story of an experienced Scottish actor from Glasgow begins.  Hence the typical Glaswegian welcome " Hoo’s yer hoose? " which means " How's are you / How's the family "

 

 

Born and raised in Glasgow, an incredible city that has enriched my life over the years in which I spent five years as a reservist in the military before joining the police force, where I served for 22 years before retiring early. Learn more about me...

 

Since I retired early from the Police, my life has taken a remarkable turn for the better. I hold an Honors degree in Literature, have published novels, trained as a Life Coach, commissioned photo shoots, and pursued an acting career. These diverse experiences have given me a fresh perspective and a renewed sense of purpose in my 50s. I’ve appeared in various productions, including short films, feature films, commercials, and theater productions. In 2020, I even won Best Actor for my role in the movie “Hunters.”

You can't teach an old dog new tricks ? Apparently you can and I'm proving it.

In my time off I love to walk about in nature with my dog and my camera

Next to acting and photography I also endeavor in writing plays for the stage.
