January 2011

It would appear that for some reason (desperation presumably) I’ve been cast in “A Morning with Guy Burgess”, written by John Morrison and directed by Dimitry Devdariani which runs from 11th to 30th January, every night except Mondays at the Courtyard Theatre.  I’m playing Donald Maclean, associate of Guy Burgess, as well as a few fairly different minor characters which so far is a lot of fun. Apparantly the BBC are coming down to film part of it too… *gulp*

There’s an interview with the writer here.

At the end of November, one very cold Sunday, I filmed a part in a TV comedy pilot that features Ian Cullen, who has starred in Z Cars and Family Affairs. I played a doctor friend of the main character who actually utters the first words in the show. I should say that although it was freezing cold and that when I turned up in the afternoon the other actors were close to death, my scenes were actually indoors, so I can’t really complain.
