The Monster mums And just like that, I’m going on a rant! NOTE: This blog post has literally nothing to do with acting. I don’t mind how you want to raise your child, but I really don’t love it when it’s shoved in my face. If you only feed your baby organic, vegan, nutritious snacks […]

I think it’s always important as an actor, and more importantly as a mentor, to be completely transparent. And today I want to chat about epic fails. Epic fails of the life and baby and acting variety. I have been struggling to keep up. I always considered myself a doer, rather than a gonna, but […]
Something really really bad happened a few years ago. I am okay. I didn’t get hurt, but someone else did. Physically and emotionally. And there may have been more women I don’t know about. Police were involved. An arrest was made. Hopefully that’s the end of that particular predator trying it on with young vulnerable […]
If like me, you crave a morning get-ready routine, then one of the hardest things to fathom when you become a mummy, is that showers are going to take you hours and sometimes you won’t even get around to having one. That idea alone blew my mind when I first had my baby. I would […]
Why you might just wanna turn the iPad, iPhone, and screen OFF I was listening to this TED talk by Adam Alter (go the Aussie psychologist) recently and he said some stuff that REALLY SANG to me. And I mean sang as in – I wanted to get into a church and belt out a bible […]
So it would only be fitting that an actor would vlog right? Wrong. Ha ha. Up to this point I haven’t. I tried in vain to start vlogs a few times and they always failed because mostly I lack the discipline to sit down and get that story onto a video, edit it and post […]
John, writer at The Stage, and lil old me, are back this month on Casting Networks talking all things healthy attitude vs unhealthy obsession in relation to fitness and our acting bodies. I think this is a BIGGIE for actors. We face daily and weekly criticism about how we look and our actual income depends on it. But […]
Well what a delight to get this casting notice sent to a few days ago from a filmmaker inviting me to audition…for what seems like a porn film. And this was NO April Fools! In the interest of being a good actor, I decided to pen my reply to said #filmmaker. My response to him […]
There’s a moment I remember years ago in Australia. I was back there for nine months because I needed to finalise my EU passport and wasn’t able to stay in the UK any longer to do it. To say I was disappointed to leave London is an understatement. I didn’t want to be back in […]
In the interest of transparency ALWAYS with my clients, my readers, my friends, I would love to share a story. For most of this year, I’ve had “other jobs”. It’s frustrating as hell. But I’m with baby (yay), albeit in my belly, and it’s limiting the number of castings my agent can submit me for, […]
