The Truth about Wonder Woman

I had the privilege of playing the role of William Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, in this show, Robert Kirkman’s Secret History Of Comics. Filmed in Canada earlier this year for AMC, it has been a perfect start to my new career adventure over on that side of the world. It was an eye-openingContinue reading “The Truth about Wonder Woman”

Early this year I had the pleasure of working on the final season of one of the most exciting TV shows to be produced here, The Fall.

V SIGN

Anyone following me on Twitter may have read some bizarre tweets towards the end of March – ‘Another day chasing aliens in Carrickfergus’, for instance. No, I hadn’t gone mad, but in fact was filming a BBC sci-fi sitcom pilot called V SIGN. V SIGN follows a group of human survivors fighting off the universe’s most incompetentContinue reading “V SIGN”

The old saying goes “If you look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves“… you could apply this to the short film I worked on last year, 2p, as it has been selected by the The Arizona Film Festival this year.
