About Me
Welcome and thanks for dropping by.
I joined Actors Equity in 1976 so I guess you could say I am a career actor. I originally trained in London at E.15 Stratford and later with Ms Uta Hagen in New York. I enjoyed a long career in television and film then moved into teaching and coaching. My passion remains the Theatre and I currently work with my wife's company - Theatre Excentrique, which focuses on plays that were not originally written in English. See: www.theatrexcentrique.com
If there is a project you have in mind, just email me.
Cheers, Gerry
