"I am currently the Artist of Liverpool’s Maritime festivals, and the Battle of the Atlantic commemoration, and the Liverpool River Festival. For these, I go to Liverpool and paint pictures of the events as they are happening.
I am very much involved with voluntary work for the Royal British Legion.
I have also shared the big screen with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Working with Tim Burton and Jonny Depp on their latest movie was a very happy experience. I have previously worked on many films, including Clash of the Titans, The Da Vinci Code, Love Actually, Casino Royale, King Arthur, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, The Golden Compass, Alexander and Martin Scorsese’s Hugo. In the filming of Alexander in Thailand, I made film history by being one of the first men to fight with real elephants in a Hollywood blockbuster.
But my most recent experience on the set of Dark Shadows was a much more pleasant one than the time I spent working on Hugo. I played a fisherman who is featured in several scenes with the A-list cast.
My career as a film and television extra is a far cry from my previous career in the Merchant Navy. After leaving the Merchant Navy in 1982, I joined Bedford Amateur Operatic Society, originally behind the scenes but eventually I was coaxed out on to the stage to perform.
My first job as an extra came in 1999 with a part in EastEnders. Since then I have appeared in many films, and my television work has included Lost World, Henry VIII, Trial and Retribution and Tipping the Velvet."
