March 2024 - The Diary

 Thankfully March was incredibly busy, with lots of travel, more jobs booked for 2024 and worked with some great people this month. The trailer dropped early March for Feature Film PSYCHO SEX DOLLS

which you can watch here: PSD Trailer which was well received and already looking forward to it's release in the Summer. Then back to The Woolfson and Golden Jubilee for more Medical School roleplay work for three weeks. We also celebrated the one year anniversary of our fashion business ZICO at

the world famous Barras Market! Thank you to all our customers and friends who have popped in this year which has been a great success. More roleplay work and then onto my first short film of the year, with

a fun shoot on RHINOMAN. This comic book-inspired short will be developed into a Feature in which I

play the villainous gangster MacFadjin in a fun scene shot in Partick, Glasgow and Directed by my old pal Douglas Sannachan. You can watch the scene here: RHINOMAN Trailer and another fun project with more shoots to follow later this year. Next up was a fun night at The St Andrews Sporting Club as a guest of Irvine Welsh and a fine night of boxing in great company, compered by Hugh Keevins. Having boxed

myself at both Clydeview BC and The Osprey BC it was great to be back again amongst the fighters and boxing crowd and thank you to all at the St Andrews Club for a brilliant evening at the Radisson Blue.

I was interviewed by Stephen McGowan for The Scottish Daily Mail this month regarding the current situation at my beloved Cathkin Park, which is pictured below. As the owner of Third Lanark AC I am obviously very disappointed to see the pitch now fenced off as stated here. A sad state of affairs indeed.

More exciting auditions followed this month and thanks to Karen Hough for the opportunities already. Booked another two film jobs this month and then it was back to The Glasgow CCA for a Short Film Festival screening of MILKGUM with Mark Barrett and a fun evening and congratulations to all involved.

To London again the following day and a return to Balham and again great fun catching up with family in London before racing back to perform in another COLOPLAST UK roleplay at the lovely Glasgow Central Hotel with old friends. A really fun and busy month then was capped by a trip to the beautiful

Tyndrum in The Highlands for a brilliant job. As mentioned last month I landed a fab role in short film BURIED alongside my pal Stephen Kerr (1815) and Written & Directed by David McCormack-Vance.

This was a tough shoot but quite exhilarating with a great script and a brilliant, talented and friendly crew and excellent camera equipment, against an epic background. Really enjoyed working on this and had a 

great time back in The Highlands again. There is still another couple of scenes to shoot but will keep you posted on when and where this brilliant film will be screened. An amazing shoot to complete a very fun and really enjoyable month.

February 2024 - The Diary

Delighted to now be repped by Karen Hough at Actual Talent and looking forward to new opportunities in 2024. Kicked off this month with another raft of self-tapes for indie films, then back to Glasgow Uni for

lots more roleplay work with the Medical School. Always great fun and great experience and was called to London mid month to do the same at King's College. Great to be back in London and caught up with old friends before driving back to Glasgow for another audition. Delighted to report that I landed this one, more details to come next month! On the whole a quieter month than anticipated but good to get working again!

January - 2024 The Diary

 Happy New Year folks! Bit of a mad Christmas and New Year with the fashion store open late throughout and really busy, then one day off and back into it again! Kicked off the year with a trip through to 

Edinburgh and the Cast & Crew screening of Feature Film THE DRAW, which we shot last year. Fab fun was had watching the feature and huge congratulations to all at View 35 Films and lovely catching up with SanjeevKholi and Emma Ross Hamilton and the fantastic 

Director of the film, Tom Ruddick (pictured above). Really enjoyed the film which has a great cast and will be going out to Distributors this year. Great to be back in The Everyman Cinema again too, a fantastic venue. Back to Glasgow for a fun podcast chat with Director Chris Boyd about all things X-Files and my

acting career highlights and available soon on the BELIEVE ME Podcast Channel. Always great fun working with Chris, who directed me in the brilliant short film REMNANTS back in 2022. Great to

also book my first film role of 2024 with a direct offer from the Producer of Bollywood movie EMPURAAM to play the Senior Agent in this brilliant sequel to LUCIFER, one of the most successful films of all time in the genre. Unfortunately however my scenes were cut! Such is the nature of the

film business. Very disappointing indeed. Back to Glasgow for more auditions and booked my a few corporate jobs for Feb/March and rounded off January with another interview with the football magazine NINE, with Issue One launching in late February 2024. A solid start to another year and lots still to 

look forward to in Q1 with the restart of the roleplay work and the release of lots of films I have worked in over the last two years. Great to catch up with old pals this month and reminded of some great times!

December 2024 - The Diary

 December started with a raft of new scripts to read for projects next year and all really promising stuff! A final roleplay with Glasgow University and then to the National Theatte Of Scotland for a rehearsal and costume fitting in advance of my next shoot. Delighted to finally work with the NTS and Director Jack

Willison again on his new film CHRISTMAS AT CUNNINGHAMS. No panto for me this year and this was just as much fun to be involved in! A fab cast that includes Catriona Faint and Anne Lacey and lots of friends in the Crew from previous jobs made this a memorable gig. We shot the film in a day down in 

Greenock and had a ball doing this madcap Christmas heist caper. I play Murphy, a career criminal taking his young apprentice on their first robbery. Lets just say we chose the wrong house to rob! A great script and fab performances from all and a total gas. Love working with Jack, this one being our 11th film

together, having worked on DON ALFONSO CHADWICK, LAUNDERETTE, POCKET, EVERY LOVE STORY, SNOOKERED, A FRIENDLY MAN, THE LEAF BLOWER, TUG, WAKEY WAKEY, and the multi-award winning BAD BEANS over the years! Always great fun working with Jack and Sean Campbell from Dropshack Films and an utter privilege to finally work with the National Theatre Of 

Scotland at long last! The film was then released on the 24th of December and you can watch it online here https://www.nationaltheatrescotland.com/events/christmas-at-cunninghams?fbclid=IwAR1TuDxK4an9c64Ovx7cKH7sNOqwr5R16czJyrrIc608CSWltu0l4TtPMOk

and went down really well! Thanks to everyone at NTS and to Jack for another great job. Then back 

on set with PSYCHO SEX DOLLS for a pick-up day of shots we missed on the first shoot and this time Randall's Antiques at The Barras doubled for Damien Self's apartment and film studio. A brilliant location

that really aided the look of the film and thanks to Andy and to Smokey Trotters restaurant nearby for providing a fab location and hospitality on a freezing cold mid-December day! Great to finally get the film wrapped and all of my outstanding scenes in the can and great too work with David & Stevie again!

Irvine Welsh popped through to Glasgow to reunite THE HELLFIRE CLUB with the brilliant Gavin Mitchell and another lovely dinner at our 'clubhouse' Sarti's. Thanks to all of the staff for another

great evening and was a real laugh catching up with both chaps once again (pictured above). End of the acting year for me and a return to Zico Fashion Boutique for the Christmas rush and delighted to be joined by one of my favourite footballers of all time, Man Utd and Celtic striker Brian McClair once again!

Great fun catching up and more good news as we opened up a Zico concession in The Leith Collective at The Glasgow Fort Shopping Centre this month too. Thanks to everyone I worked with this year. Been mad busy opening the clothing business, starting a new clothing brand and managing to complete filming on 

9 screen projects this year. Huge thanks to my agent IAM for presenting me with lots of opportunities yet again and really looking forward to what 2024 has in store. Have a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

November 2023 - The Diary

 Straight into another slew of roleplay work in early November in Glasgow & Edinburgh with various clients including Glasgow University, The Wheatley Group and NHS Lanarkshire in week one alone.

Then back to Edinburgh and a fab week-long shoot on David Wilde's new Feature Film, entitled PSYCHO SEX DOLLS. I play a failing porn film director who orders AI Dolls to utilise in his movies and to try and

save his studio and career, but with disastrous results! This was a brilliant experience with a great cast and old pals in the crew, shot on a micro budget in only 7 days! Having worked with David on RUN, CRIMELORD, BLACK HEART and COLD BLOODED KILLERS over the years it was great to be

given another leading role in film with the part of Damien Self in the fab Studio 128 in Leith and an absolute joy to work with Stella Paris (pictured above) and Emma Cole and Jamie Jones as 'The Dolls' as well as the rest of the Cast & Crew. A tough, non-stop shoot and a brilliant script and story, a real

vintage Exploitation Film with a twist and one of a trilogy of features to come. The film will be out in the Spring of 2024 and you can follow it's progress on PSD FILM Just time to squeeze in another GU Medical School roleplay to round off a very interesting and diverse month of acting work! Also received an offer for another excellent Short Film which shoots next month & a for another Feature Film in February 2024.

October 2023 - The Diary

A really busy month and managed to pack a lot in! Back to the Woolfson for more excellent GU MED SCHOOL roleplay work with a great group of actor pals before heading back down to North London to shoot another excellent Bollywood Feature Film. The film, entitled BHAI BHAI stars Maniesh Paul

and is Directed by Dhwani Gautam and was a brilliant experience, shot in an excellent former police station and with a great script. Had a blast on this feature and met up with the cast back in Glasgow

as they had further scenes to shoot in Scotland. Huge thanks to Anushree and all the team for casting me in my 5th big Bollywood film and this was a great character to get my teeth into. Then it was into the car for the long drive home and another excellent roleplay with The Wheatley Group followed by a return to 

Glasgow University for further roleplay work. Our fashion store at The Barras is doing really well too and we had a fab Fashion Show at a private event in the West End which was great fun to host and thank you

to our models and to everyone who came along and helped turn it into a real success, pictured below.

Booked another film role for December, more of which to come and then it was back into costume as another police character this month, the return of Officer Muir in Episode 3 of the Amazon Prime series

A TRUE MISMATCH. Brilliant to be back with this team and a really good few days shooting this in fab locations such as Stirling Old Town Jail and a return to New Lanark. Shot some epic scenes in this one and can't wait to see the results when it is screened later in 2024. Great to be reunited with Matthew

Crawford, pictured with me above, who was our Costume Designer on ONE NIGHT IN FLANDERS a few years ago. More auditions, more corporate work and the shop, Zico Fashion Boutique made it a manic end to October, but delighted to announce that I have signed on to play a lead role in this beauty below!

Next month is looking busy once again and very much looking forward to playing another mad, bad and dangerous to know character and to working with old friends once again. Stay tuned...
