About Me

If he isnt successful he'd like to work towards gaining a Media and Communications degree and get into producing, making his own films etc. But whatever happens he's always going to act

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Met most of them. Dont want to meet fucking stupid dumb ass people that havent got a clue what they want from life, while messing you about at the same time, mentioning no names. Crazy people and Big Issue sellers. Anyone that will put me in their films or give me a job. Dancing Penguins. Drama Chipmunks. Paulo Coelho, Jean-Luc Godard, Kurt Cobain, Kofi Annan, Che Guevara, Karl Marx, George Bernard Shaw, Yoda. Snap, Crackle and Pop.

Music:

Drum n Bass is my roots, electro, dirty grimy beats. Love all music, an eclectic taste. can turn my ear to anything but plastic poppy charty shite, foook orfff!! Give me some rolling stones any day. I live for the bassline on 'a forrest' by The Cure.

Heroes:

MOR for always being there, FLASH ASH for putting up with me,TIM for always trying to point me in the right direction, even though I didnt always listen,ANGELENA and CELESTINE the best sisters, well just because. NEIL and CAROL for being so strong.
