Aside from the Queen, Fellini is his most famous interlocutor. A recent RADA festival appearance was in ‘Unoriginal Sins’ by award winning playwright Oliver Bennett, as a Welsh copyright snooper in a future dystopia where every viewing or listening, public or private, is chargeable. The very latest of his nine one man shows include a double bill, ‘The Duke of Windsor in Heaven’ - “Scandalous, discomfiting and highly amusing...witty, debonair and blasé” - Camden New Journal), and ‘Nobody in their Right Mind’ - “…drunken clerical hilarity…had me rolling around in my seat with laughter…a fabulous night out!”. “An experienced actor who can engage an audience, and deliver a beautifully relaxed and compelling performance.” Leslie Philips (his acting hero, with whom he toured) wrote of him as a “super actor”, wishing him “much success”. He and his beloved wife Vicky live in St Albans. He has eight step-grandchildren. When not acting he fingers a fine bagpipe and defends in the Crown Court as a Barrister of Middle Temple.
