We left off with the first time I had spontaneous pneumothorax(collapsed lung), yes I said first time. I got out of hospital in Jan 09, the second collapsed lung happened on the 10th of March the same year, only months after the first. The doctors told me it was a possibility it would happen again,…

Spontaneous Pneumothorax, My Story. Part 1.
This blog will differ from my usual blogs about acting. This is something that’s very near and dear to my heart. In fact it’s my lungs! I had something called spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung). This is my story. I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life but I knew that if there was an…
Headshots
I absolutely love getting new headshots. I only do it once a year but its one of my favourite parts of being in this business. Especially this time, I had a great photographer taking my shots. I love how they came out. I love photos in general, I really can’t get enough of black and…
Tool, The Driving Force.
Before I started acting, I was a diesel mechanic. I remember first starting out in drama school and just saying my lines thinking that’s what acting was. I soon learned that just like a mechanic, tools are the driving force to getting the job done. The tools to an actor are their skills, honed in to be able to build…
Brush off the Acting Dust
When you leave something sitting for a few weeks it starts to build up dust. The same can be said for you tools as an actor, well it is for me anyway. I try and keep my tools working, so I don’t forget how to use them but lately I get so caught up with life. A…

The Cliché Game

It is often the hardest part of being an actor. As often as I say to myself “just let it go and don’t think about it again” I have people around me who support me always asking how…
Choc Mini Bundt Cake
This has quickly become one of my favourite paleo desserts and its so simple to make, that even I could do it. its a spinoff of another recipe and rather than making a full sized bundt cake my sister had some mini bundt cake tiny around so we decided to use them and they worked…
Tales of a Procrastinator
I’ve been procrastinating my whole life. It first started at a young age, my mother would sit next to me when I was doing my homework to keep me focused on the task at hand and that’s still a problem today. The last few weeks I’ve been so busy with my retail job that my…
New Year, Same Hard Working Me
Happy new year all. Its been a crazy start to the new year already. As the title implies I’m one of those people who don’t believe in waiting for the new year to be proactive. Before the new year, my wonderful girlfriend helped me devise a plan for the next few months to stay active…
