HELLO THERE! Is it all go for you? Are your children returning to school? Are you trying to head back into the office? I was going to say STAY SAFE but I think a level of STAY SANE AND SAFE is needed because so much is being asked of us that...

HELLO THERE! I hope you are well and safe. It’s still a weird time of not knowing if the glass is half full or half empty. Strangely there are still so many potential positives, such as having the time to see who and what we are, do we like...

HELLO THERE! IT’S ALL HAPPENING HERE! I knew from Boxing Day 2019 onwards that 2020 was going to be one hell of a great year. 2020 was pulling me like a magnet towards its positive “glow” as soon as Christmas Day Lunch was consumed. It is a rare...

HELLO THERE! The last four weeks have been one of my happiest in 40 years. It’s been a month that has seen me back with old friends in quite exceptional surroundings. Let's say it hasn’t been glamorous at times and others it’s been hysterical. At...

HELLO THERE! Today I am in Menton, France learning my lines for TO BE SOMEONE, which starts principle photography on the 16th Sept. It is over 30 degrees outside and uncomfortably hot. France gives me a chance to catch up on reading. I live in...

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!!! So far 2019 has been beyond expectation. On New Year's Day I found myself sitting next to a world-renowned film director having a lunch I didn’t expect. He asked how I started in the business and I told him at the end...
