Hi - I’m new here and thought I’d introduce myself to you. I’m an actor who has also had experience of writing and directing, although that was mostly for the stage. I’ve been very lucky to have worked with some fine people in some great places.
I’m particularly interested in acting in movies, TV programmes and commercials. I am also available for voice over work as I can ‘do’ many accents. I have posted my show reel and welcome any constructive comments that anyone wishes to make. If anyone wants to see my Spotlight profile in addition to this, I will happily provide a link.
Many thanks
D

Welcome, Derek. Stage32 is a great place and no doubt you'll find lots of value in the discussions and opportunities. That's great you do accents and VO work. So many people are also making their books into audio books so if you're not signed into the book author's Lounge you might want to be part of that and let people know about your services. Good luck!

THANKS FOR ASKING AMANDA ~ I am hoping through this community to understand more of what others' might think is the next greatest LINES of TRUTH to introduce to the world, something of such great value that it changes US ALL in an instant ~ by the "ripple effect" ~ such as the grand documentary "The NEED TO GROW" (Michael is brilliant) IT boggles my mind still, as to why HIS IDEA HAS NOT YET SPREAD ACROSS ALL CONTINENTS by everyone jumping on board... ?
or ANCIENT APOCALYSE (extraordinary man with true insights & convictions under such scrutiny!) - Movies such as "TOMMORROWLAND - that shockingly I heard had bombed? NOT IN MY WORLD... one of the best! that shows how HUGE each & every person IS in this world..,
"FLASH OF GENIUS" - (True Story of BOB KEARNS) SHOWING such determination that a man would go to such lengths to bring justice to the situation against a company that I refused to purchase any vehicles anymore for at least 50 years, thinking of extending that to 100 for what they tried to do to him!
A BEAUTIFUL MIND - (Based on TS) that shows an aspect of TRUTH pertaining to so-called MENTAL ILLNESS...
*ONE OF MY OLD TIME "Serious FAVS" IS - DANGEROUS BEAUTY (Veronica Franco Based on True Story)... & THE COLOR PURPLE (can't watch too often - too painful)... THE TRUMAN SHOW (1998), HOOK with ROBIN WILLIAMS (Simply The Best!) -
THE DA VINCI CODE --- Tom HANKS LOVE LOVE>>>> (was frozen during the whole movie)!!
MORE RECENT "Serious Favs" ~ THE GLASS CASTLE (EXCELLENT MOVIE, - my life story movie will be close to this type), JUDY (wow, heartbreaking on all levels!) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), THE Pursuit of Happyness (couldn't watch all of it)... nor a few other movies... way too deep!
more less serious favs ~ SERENDIPITY & PRACTICAL MAGIC, 50 FIRST KISSES, A KNIGHT'S TALE, so many more!!
BUT OF COURSE< those of us that LOVE THIS ACT of bringing to the big screen, human experiences of challenges & triumph CAN NEVER REALLY PIN DOWN JUST A FEW!! way too many more if I really let my mind run through the last 4 decades!
THE NEXT GREAT ONE I AM REALLY ANXIOUS TO SEE IS -
SUCCESS AFTER INSANITY movie!!
Coming soon! To A Theatre Near YOU
