About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorSam's currently busying himself with a 3-year course in Acting, at London's Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA), one of the 15-or-so CDS accredited Drama Schools in the UK. He spends a lot of his free time trying to juggle journals, sleep, food and episodes of the West Wing.He's living in Streatham, with his friend Richard, which continues to work out better than he imagines it has any right to. He watches a lot of TV, films and DVDs, in a vain attempt to hang on to some sense of the zeitgeist. The fact that he insists on using phrases like "magic", "bingo" and "killer" to express enthusiasm doesn't help this.When not doing any of the above, Sam writes bad comedy songs, plays piano and sings, reads a lot of comics, sleeps some more and visits the cinema. He also claims that he goes to the theatre, but that's not strictly true. He gets dragged to gigs by his housemate, and enjoys the vast majority of what he sees. His ambitions include making enough money doing theatre to live, buying more comics and to never have to write about himself in the third person.
