Classically trained character actor — Shakespeare, period drama, wartime/epic, deadpan & satirical comedy

Dramatic UK/Europe-based character actor with classical training through programmes at LAMDA, Guildhall, the Strasberg Institute and RSC workshops. Multilingual (Russian, German, French) with modern British and international accents plus authentic Eastern European and Mediterranean colours. Authoritative on-stage and on-camera presence — bringing gravitas, forensic detail and discipline from 15+ years as a solicitor, and a particular gift for deadpan, dry, black-humour comedy and satire. Keen on historical and literary work, including Shakespeare’s history plays and major antagonists, and well suited to period drama, wartime and epic films, atmospheric Gothic thrillers and sophisticated on-screen comedy.
