🎬 Acting & Filmmaking#
While my primary career has been in games, I’ve also explored creative expression through acting and film production. Here’s a snapshot of my experience in front of and behind the camera.
🎭 Acting Credits (Supporting Artist)#
The Crown – Season 4, Episode 2: “The Balmoral Test”#
Role: Balmoral Footman
Production: Netflix | Left Bank Pictures
Director: Paul Whittington
Set during Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana’s first visit to Balmoral Castle, this episode explores the tensions between monarchy and politics. I appeared as a footman serving in the royal household. As a good footman should be, I was mainly just out of shot (including standing beside Prince Charles and Diana as they share this awkward goodbye), but did feature in a close-up at the end of the episode that really showed off my footman hairdo (make it heavier around the ears).
Succession – Season 2, Episode 8: “Dundee”#
Role: Guest at black-tie gala
Production: HBO | Gary Sanchez Productions
Director: Kevin Bray
Set in Dundee, Scotland, the episode revolves around a lavish celebration of Logan Roy’s career. I appeared as a guest at the formal event held in Logan’s honor—with a surprise appearance from Ken-W-A!
Vigil – Season 1#
Role: Russian Private Jet Pilot
Production: BBC | World Productions
Director: James Strong
A political thriller from the producers of Line of Duty, Vigil examines tensions between the military and police following a death aboard a nuclear submarine. My role was as a Russian private jet pilot. Sadly, both myself and the jet never made it past the cutting room floor.
The Nest – Season 1, Episode 1#
Role: Crowd
Production: BBC One | Studio Lambert
Director: Andy de Emmony
A Glasgow-set psychological thriller about surrogacy, class, and family. I appeared as backround in the hospital in the opening episode.
🎬 Filmmaking#
The Things We Leave Behind#
Role: Production Support, Technical, Supporting Artist
Director: Andy S. McEwan
A Scottish short film exploring grief and healing, available on Amazon Prime Video. I worked across multiple areas:
Pre-production: location scouting, equipment logistics, casting, extras coordination
Production: grip, driver, on-set support, acting
Post-production: managed media backups and supported the editing pipeline
🎓 Acting Training#
The Acting Lab, Dundee#
I trained at The Acting Lab, a well-regarded acting school in Dundee, completing:
Beginner Adult Acting Course
Intermediate Adult Acting Course
These courses strengthened my understanding of scene work, emotional expression, character study, and ensemble collaboration.
Whether on a professional set or indie production, I’ve found acting and filmmaking to be a rewarding creative counterbalance to my work in games.
