BLUE PETER BADGE

I was thrilled to receive a letter today from CBBC which had a blue peter badge with it.   Blue Peter reporters visited the set of ‘Harriet’s Army’ during filming.  A few of the actors were interviewed about the  new 3 part series which will be screened on CBBC soon.  I was not on set for the interview but I have still received a Blue Peter Badge which is really great.  There are different colour badges for  different types of achievements.  You can find out about all the badges HERE including the new SPORTS BADGE . Thank you Blue Peter. ...

LOOK, IS IT, NO IT’S NOT

A friend said they had seen my photo in a ‘Game of  Thrones’ picture.  I did audition for Game of Thrones when I was about 10 years old. I didn’t get the job, but a boy I know did,  Isaac Hempstead-Wright. We met during filming ‘The Awakening’,   no relative.  So I knew it wasn’t me, although Isaac and I used to look quite alike.  He is changed now and looks all grown up.  He is a bit older than me but I still look much the same!!! Anyway, much as I would love to be in Game of Thrones,...

Assassin’s Creed: Unity

A few days ago E3 was held at The Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Every year,  E3 shows trailers from new games.  I was keen to see what was coming out and really excited about Assassin’s Creed 5 Unity which is set in Paris during the French Revolution in the 18th century.   As an actor, I was quite disconcerted and also delighted about how realistic the graphics are.  The characters look so real, if it carries on like this, actors will be out of a job!  Take a look at the link to the trailer which has just...

TOOTH FAIRY

Last week I spent three days filming a short film called Tooth Fairy which was written and directed by Owyn Stephens.  It was quite intense and all the filming was done with the actors in a small room which was just a big box.  I played a cross between the victim and the baddie so it was very interesting crossing from one to the other. The Box. This is me and Kim Allan who played  the ‘Fairy’ and here I am in my rags, I have been let out for a break during a break sitting in my rags!  The...

MY GRAND DAD – JUNE 1944

I have done a couple of acting roles recently which involved the subject of war.   Archie Dobson’s War was about a boy, me, Archie, who witnessed what happened to his family when the war came and took away his father and other relatives and what seemed exciting at the time soon turned into something much more serious.  I also recently played a role of an autistic boy who along with a group of other children foiled a German assault in Harriet’s Army, which is due to screen this month on CBBC. My mum helped me with this article last...
