Since my last posting I have been doing a few things to keep me busy, done a couple of Bond shows with the stunt team and a couple of appearances as a Stormtrooper. Another hair barrette commission has been sent to America which is great. Working on a couple of pieces, a leather dagger belt and scabbard and a good friend has asked me to make Richard III's banner which I look forward to making. I will post photos so you can see it when finished.
Filming wise I have just done a days background on a new police drama being filmed in Birmingham and hoping to get some more days filming in the future. Today I took part in a short film called Black Tutu seeing me as a judge for a ballet school, any further info I will report as it comes in. The main shoot for me currently is the Tales of Albion another days shoot since my last report and another coming up next weekend.

I had a brief moment on the 3 part BBC drama The Politicians Husband sitting behind David Tennant which I did over a year ago.


Some more potential filming coming up and I will be at the Tall Ships Festival in Gloucester at the end of the month which should be a lot of fun!

Looking forward to it all!

Apologies for the slightly longer gap in posting, had a few things going on so I am doing a quick overall post to cover the things that have been happening and will go into depth a bit more on the filming as it happens.

Lady in the Woods short film is now done and available to rent or download online a mere 99p to rent or 2.99 to download cheap at half the price! Here is the link : Lady in the Woods Download I had a lot of fun playing my role and Frank the dog is a star! Keep watching to the very end as all the fun stuff is tagged on the end.

Tales of Albion filming is well under way with all 8 stories being filmed alongside each other. My character the Morrighan, her story called The Washer at the Ford had its first day of filming the other week which was a pretty big days filming with battle scenes and my big speech addressing the soldiers. I have another days filming in a weeks time and I will post links and photos etc as they become available. In the meantime here is a great still from one scene.


Memorabilia went well as ever, had a great time and met the lovely Jaime Murray again. Also found more Torchwood memorabilia, I have now found 2 trading cards with my image on, very cool! :) Maybe I will have a table for signing autographs soon ;)


Oh yes almost forgot another film I worked on playing a female Gladiatrix I will post up some photos and more info on my next post.

Well I've just about recovered from the Sega promo days of Aliens:Colonial Marines game. My alien Annabelle was worked tirelessly for several days traveling all over London dropping on radio shows with one actually being live on air! Another highlight was popping down to Jonathon Ross's house to drop off a copy of the game, the best bit was their pet dog Snowball getting friendly with Annabelle!

There is a bit of footage of Annabelle Alien at BBC Radio 1 when she dropped in live on air, this is DJ Charlie Sloth trying to say he is better looking, I think not! Charlie Sloth and Annabelle Alien!
The other week saw Sean and I make an appearance as Batman and Catwoman for a company promotional day, we performed a fight in between desks in the office which was the smallest area ever I have had to fight in! It went down well with all the employees and we stayed around for photos and they had a replica Batmobile from the TV series which was awesome!

Memorabilia is almost upon us again March 16/17th at the NEC Birmingham, looking forward to make an appearance as Xena again and also looking forward to meet the lovely Jaime Murray again from Spartacus fame and Hustle who I worked with a year or so.

I have been real lucky to have worked a couple of days on the new Muppets movie, to say I was excited was an under statement! I grew up watching the Muppets and to see them right in front of me was just a thrill! Can't wait to see it but it won't be until next year :(

Anyways I'll report back after Mem, hope to see some of you there, thanks for stopping by...

February is already upon us and things are starting to come in to fill the diary.

January saw the last day of filming on the comedy film Ravenswood which is now being finished off with all principle photography done. It will have its premiere at the Wimbledon Theatre in a few months time which will be exciting. The Lady in the Woods short has one final process to be done and that will be complete and ready to download very soon. I will post all updates and links on here when its ready.

Tales of Albion filming is hotting up dates are now being confirmed for principle photography and the big battle scene in my characters tale is confirmed for April 15th. If you would like to take part and be a Celtic warrior they are looking for extras just drop me a message and I will pass on the details if you are not on Facebook, if you are here is the link you will need to sign up Tales of Albion Battle Scene Filming

April will also see me working on 2 other films, a Judge Dredd fan film which is shaping up to be a great little project and the other is an action fight film. I will post more on both projects soon.

I am also currently working with Sega to help them promote their new Aliens Colonial Marines game. I have just been filming on the London Underground for a viral advert which I will post the link to here and I am off to London to do a couple of days work this coming week. The press will be present on the next one so will post some photos up when they are available.

Just done a James Bond stunt show at one of the hotels they used to hold the UK Xena conventions at, that brought some happy memories back! Hopefully we may get some photos from the show so I can post some up for you.

Thanks for your continued support and I will be hopefully be posting up some great photos very soon!

Welcome 2013! Here is to a great and fulfilling year ahead.
This years activities kicked off with me taking part in the 25th Annual New Years Day Parade in London along side the 'Heroes for Charity' group helping raise money for worthy causes. The crowds came out in their thousands, news reports estimated 500,000 people watched the event and with the crowds came the sun which made the temperatures a little more bearable! It was an amazing experience, crowds everywhere you looked and the route taking you past iconic London landmarks like Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament to name a few. Been finding some great photos online from the day, this one was taken by Nick Grossman :)


The Xenite Fangirls Calendar is now available and all the months pictures have been revealed with myself appearing twice which is very cool, so if you get your calendar now you will have me to start the year off on January and to finish off the year in December! So now I have featured in 2 calendars, last years Spirit of Albion and this years Fangirls Calendar! GRIN


Talking of Spirit of Albion the follow up film project "Tales of Albion" will start filming this year and see's me reprise my role as the Morrighan which I am very excited about. I think my first lot of filming will be around April time, the Spirit of Albion Facebook page will be following all the progress as it happens.

I didn't get around to report on the last Memorabilia show but here is a photo from it and as ever was a lot of fun! The brilliant Claudia Christian was so lovely and a pleasure to meet :)

Well here's to a great year!
