"Acting Is Easy — Learning Lines Isn’t!"
People often say to me, “Acting must be so hard!” But honestly? For me, acting is the easy part. It’s learning the lines that’s the real challenge.
The Constant State of Change as an Actor
This week, the production schedule on my latest job shifted at the last minute — which meant I had to rearrange the workshops I’d already booked. That sudden change reminded me just how unpredictable life as an actor truly is.
On Set of Ellis, Belfast – Tips for First-Time TV Actors
I’m currently on set in Belfast, filming the second season of Ellis, and I’ll be here for the next eight days. My first day was a whirlwind — I had my make-up test and costume fitting. Going through those motions again reminded me of a few important things that I’d love to pass on to any young actors who haven’t had their first TV job yet.
Table Read: Behind the Scenes of "Ellis"

Exciting News – I'm Joining Season Two of ELLIS!
The studio will be a little quiet over the next few weeks… but for a very exciting reason!

Actors Sunday’s
This Sunday, 15th of June at 6PM, I’m honoured to be joining Actors Sundays, a beautiful initiative run by the wonderful Nynya Angelica Martin.
Actors Sundays is a safe, welcoming online space where actors come together via Zoom to:
Talk openly about mental health in the industry
Support one another through the ups and downs
And simply chat all things acting
When I first came across Nynya’s heartfelt initiative, I knew I wanted to be part of it. It’s such a valuable and much-needed space of support, and I’m so looking forward to joining the conversation and connecting with you all.
✨ Come and join us — you’re very welcome.
