This is a reel of acting work I was involved in from 2007 to 2017. I only act occasionally, my main area of artistic interest is visual art, but these are some examples of the work I’ve done in this field.
I have a role coming up in 'Unlocked'. The film is to be directed by Michael Apted and stars Noomi Rapace, Orlando Bloom and Michael Douglas. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2713851/
Doors Are Trouble.... I had a scene a few weeks back in which I had to pass through a door. Rather than wait I decided to use the door as many times as possible before we shot. Why?...because doors are trouble. A few years ago I read Michael Caine's excellent book 'Acting in Film' and In there he sa...

Why?...because doors are trouble. A few years ago I read Michael Caine's excellent book 'Acting in Film' and In there he said that doors on set are always a problem - so familiarize yourself with any door you have to be seen to use. A few weeks after I read 'Acting in Film' I had a scene in which I had to pass through a door, I recalled the advice and tested the door, and yet I still cut my hand. The door handle was too close to the door frame and when, during a take, I opened it at speed, it cut open my hand. This was unfortunate because my hand had yet to be filmed in close-up opening the door and was now a bloody mess. Make-up did an excellent job of painting over the wound...but that's a lesson I'll never forget. Cut!
I got a call to come in and test for a part in a BBC production. A tiny role. I go through the motions 3 times. 1 and 2 suck. On 3 I ask if I can borrow someone to carry out the actions of my opposite number, the invisible actress in the script. This works and I get the part. Never be afraid to ask...

On 3 I ask if I can borrow someone to carry out the actions of my opposite number, the invisible actress in the script. This works and I get the part. Never be afraid to ask for someone to stand in. It's crucial if you are supposed to be holding an eye line. Pull someone in even if they are not on camera, hold the eye of that person. The difference in your facial expression, your action, will be huge on camera. Not only can the viewer see when you fake that kind of thing but it shows you care and that you know. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2733252/combined

Solomon Kane finally got a US release and should be available in the states and is now on iTunes. I'm proud to have been a part of it (not a big role, but a good one for me!) - if you like a good yarn, and a bit of dank horror, check it out.

So, for the second year running a short film I acted in is at Cannes, in this case I was one of the leads. It's a short shown in the 'SHORT FILM CORNER' section of the festival.
Congrats, Stewart. Quite an accomplishment...Are you at the fest?
Thanks Richard. The director, Ivan Bergerman, is there. I thought about it, but, having just got back from a long trip to Hawaii with stops in LA and SF...and with work deadlines...just not possible....oddly, not even appealing to be honest. But it's nice to know it was shown.
Understandable...Wish you much success with it.
