About me

Hailing from South Africa, I spent 15 formative years there before a decade in the UK where I've played diverse roles, from lead parts like Konstantin Treplev in The Seagull to video game voiceovers for Imperfection as The Owner. With a cultural blend of South African, German, and British roots, I now call Barcelona, Spain, my home base. In my acting career, Beyond the stage and screen, my eclectic background encompasses various dance styles,  sports (water polo, ultimate frisbee, yoga), and skills such as archery and horse riding. I explored audiovisual work during the pandemic and have set up my own film company while I focus on re-establishing myself in the acting scene across Spain and Europe. I am fluent in English and currently studying Spanish. I proudly hold passports from the UK, Germany, and South Africa, embodying a unique blend of experiences and skills that enrich every role.
