First, some things about you: What is your occupation?

I am an actor.

Where did you study/train?

I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

What's been the proudest moment of your career so far?

The next moment is always my proudest, I try never to look back.

What did you think of the drama lessons you received at secondary school?

I sadly had no drama lessons at school so I got involved through doing school plays.

What do you think about the state of drama education today?

I think it needs to be more prominent. I really believe that you should make the most of the drama opportunities whilst at school, as it's a way of expressing yourself in a safe environment.
