In my spare time I write stories and scripts, and I perform in amateur shows whenever I get the chance. I’ve even got a National Diploma in Performing Arts!
In the past I’ve played Nick Bottom in a cool 60’s musical version of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, as well as Amos Hart in ‘Chicago’, and also Frank N Furter in ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ (to name a few), and I have gathered rave reviews for such performances.
At one point I was even being primed to become an artist, but I found expressing my creativity through other mediums, such as acting, writing, singing, and direction much more rewarding and not so constraining.
In any case, as I happen to be an adept artist, I tend to design characters and monsters for use in short lived comics of my own design, and I also sketch out designs for makeup effects and horrific creatures that appear in the multitude of horror or action orientated stories I come up with!!!
Currently, I'm formulating a comic book idea based around the comedic and sometimes dangerous misadventures of a new superhero called 'Turbo-Man', and how his life changes as he's sucked into the superhero buisness...
BRUCE CAMPBELL!!! I've already met two other screen idols of mine- GEORGE A. ROMERO (He who directed the Living Dead saga, Martin, The Crazies...) and makeup artist supremo TOM SAVINI!!! I would like to meet Sam and Ted Raimi at some point in my life, as well as hardcore wrestling legends Mick Foley and Terry Funk!!!
Seriously though, with myspace, I’d just like to meet some like-minded people who'll challenge me, shake up some of my beliefs and ideas, and maybe even collaborate with me or help me out with some of my little side projects…

These are just a few of my favourite bands and singers, although even this changes depending upon my mood.
I kind of prefer movies scores and orchestra rock though, so I can picture kick-ass scenes- the best sound track of all time belongs to EITHER 'The Lost Boys' OR 'The Transformers 1986 Movie', but the ending fight song in Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children is most excellent!
I’m an avid collector of films and movie memorabilia, with the horror genre being the main focus of my attentions. I just love ‘Zombie’ films, and to that end I’ve even met a host of horror film actors and crew. My Top films include:-

Godzilla (1954 + the Other 27 Japanese 'Gojira' films)

When do I get time for T.V? I've got so many DVDs and hours of work that I don't get the chance! But when it comes down to it, I feel the TV series' of interest include:-
Spaced
Heroes
Millennium
My Name Is Earl

The Mighty Boosh
The I.T Crowd
Megas XLR
The Simpsons (but then again who doesn't like this show...)
I'm more of a comic fan myself, but I do have a small collection of books- mainly film companions and horror stories.
I love:
'The Rats' trilogy by James Herbert
Most stuff by Steven King
The Max Brooks Zombie books- I rank World War Z as my current favourite book!
Comic-wise, I love anything:
Batman
Swamp-Thing
Army of Darkness
The Walking Dead
Rising Stars
I used to love Sonic the Comic, Spiderman and X-Men- but that's died down since...
This may sound stupid but as a kid I worshipped Freddy Krueger, but as I grew up and went through a wrestling phase, that hero became Mick
Foley, and to a certain extent he still is.
Nowadays I love George A Romero, Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, and John Carpenter- guys who made films on their own terms and for who I have mucho respect! I also would wash the sores from Bruce Campbell's dirty feet if he asked me to do so! I love that guy!!!
I'd also would love to hang out with Ted Raimi, Jon
Faverou, and Paul Giomatti
An other hero of mine is my friend Moggie, who truly is one of the coolest geeks on the planet- if I was anything like him, I'd be a made man....
