Art is a mature actor with a native-born American accent and a UK passport based in London. He has a naturally authoritative energy that can be layered over vulnerability, humour, intimidation or other flavours as the scene requires. His 30 year career in investment banking makes him at home in a variety of board room situations as well as the poker table, tempered by hints of tenderness from fathering two daughters (and grandfathering four grandchildren (so far)). Physically, he gravitates towards martial arts such as wrestling (the sport of his youth) sabre fencing and sport pistol-shooting, coupled with a love of hiking, fishing and scuba-diving. He has lived in Europe since 1988, in northern Europe until 2000 (being professionally fluent in German and convincingly conversant in French) and the UK since 2000.
