My work style and ethic.
I am always committing to more than just the role I am playing!
Whether I am playing a principle, featured or supporting role, my passion and commitment to being convincing and believable as an actor or as a supporting artiste, and reliable as a member of the wider team is non negotiable.
When booked onto 'any' production or project, I have been booked to bring a character to life, and to support a project which has heavy investment from countless others.
I play lead and WO roles, but whether I am front and centre or back and distant to the lens and the piece, the same passionate work ethic applies!
This becomes my driving focus to make my part as authentic and believable as it can possibly be!
This isn't only a commitment to do a great job as an actor, and to deliver a memorable performance for the viewer, it's a commitment to do right by my agent, the production team and the investors in whatever the project happens to be.
Thanks for finding me,
Al

'Car Wash'. Anti-Terrorism Advert
Don't Suffer it, Change it!
Al played the lead in this 1993 anti-terrorism advertisement for N.I. TV at the height of the troubles in N.I.
Definitely one of the most intense and involving projects in respect to the subject matter, the organisation and the attention the project was attracting in production.
Working under intense pressure, this ad (one of three in the series) remains one of AL's most interesting commercial roles.
