CHRISTMAS FEVER IN LONDON TOWN.....Another audition Covent Garden. One hour late, fatal crash on track B'mouth London. Crowds pushing and drinking. Christmas lights blinding. Cars bumper to bumper. Buses not moving, trains late. Flashing police cars pushing through the masses. One hour walk to get to Waterloo. Got lost several times in the dark. London, my London I love you.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES! Gardening one day, audition at Spotlight and One-To-One-Session at the Actors Centre in London the next day. And .....on the way back in a crowded train, my gorgeous looking silver-fox passenger started talking to me, bought me a drink and revealed that he too was an actor. We talked and talked.....

A SINGLE SESSION OF GARDENING results in an instant reduction in stress, boosts self-esteem and general feeling of good health, according to experts. Today I left a world of shriekers, show-offs, drunkards, moaners, selfie-addicts and exhibitionists behind and planted these colourful flowers in our garden, for all residents to enjoy. FEELING GOOD

Delighted to see our writer/director Alexander Fodor (latest feature DEAD AND AWAKE) so happy attending the premiere of BAKU I LOVE YOU at the Modern Art Museum, Baku, Azerbaijan and mixing with prominent public figures of culture and arts, creative intellectuals, diplomates and visitors. We are proud of you Alexander Fodor. Your Dead And Awake team.

TREE HUGGING SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO IMPROVE HEALTH. This is Ben, my tree in our garden. Whilst waiting if my audition for a part in a feature film with well known actors, was successful, Ben takes the stress out of me. Trees facilitate the cleansing and revitalizing of all stored negativity in humans.

Just finished filming THE HONEY TRAP with writer/director Marc Paul Stolworthy. Excellent cast and crew. Marc is a cracker of a director. All smiles and smirks. So much fun. I am playing a member of a gang.

ANOTHER OF MY AWARD-WINNING PORTRAIT shot on film. Digital cameras changed it all. No regrets. I prefer to be an actor. Acting is based on a human, universal understanding of pain, loss, freedom, joy and more. It brings the emotions out to live on our skin. Acting is life, not a portrait.

THE HIGHEST REWARD IS WHAT WE DO FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Here I am working for free, clearing all the rubbish behind our 9 garages, filling 30 bags with garden waste, weeding the flowerbeds, and after 40 hours of hard labour it feels like I have just finished a major role in a feature film. Yes, dynamic people make dynamic actors ha..ha..ha..

MONEY SPEAKS. Hewlett Packard Headquarters in Bracknell. Filmed in the HP Image Centre coporate film with a wonderful cast and crew. American multinational information technology. Computers, laptops, data storage , printers, software, hardware, networking products and more. Not to mention the building, the ofiices, meeting rooms, client areas, exhibition displays, staff quarters etc. So much quality and professional trained people.

JUST SAYING! This has been a great inspiration to me. Enjoy!

THE WAY I SHOOT WEDDINGS when not filming. Great fun directing wedding clients and turning them into actors.

SEXY ...OOZES CONFIDENCE ... On my way flying to Dublin for a small film part, I saw this gorgeous, attention grabbing baby. What a charmer. Go baby go go ....show them!

 

A STORY WORTH SHARING That's exactly what I am doing here for my talented German fellow actor Erich Redman. We met on the set for a Hewlett Packard commercial. Erich plays a German officer in 'Woman In Gold' with Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds. Erich certainly has ways how to play a German officer ha..ha..ha..he..he..

 

WIMBORNE DORSET....Glossy and groomed during last weeks filming in a real pub outside Wimborne. Made me chuckle seeing me playing a pub owner. But boy did we have fun with the locals. They talk, nay, gabble, waffle, yap, burble...freaked the tish out of me!

PURE GYM BOURNEMOUTH.....Training hard to be fit for future parts in British thrillers, American blockbusters and German art films. As an actor one has to be fit as a fiddle!

SUNSET OVER POOLE ....Learning my lines, walking along Bournemouth beach and was blessed to see this spectacular display.

MY FAVOURED SCENE. The talented Jason Wing and I in a gangster scene written, directed, filmed and edited by Alexander Fodor. Strong script, creative lightening, interesting camera angles, and both actors have screen presence. Jason is currentlich appearing in the gangster feature film THE ANTWERP DOLLS, written and directed by Jack L.Reid. The film has made already waves in the USA.

GREAT WRITERS INSPIRE. Alexander Fodor's writers touch shines through in his movie DEAD AND AWAKE. The scene between Amy (Funda Onal) and Emily (Renate Morley) is touching and deep. Emily: 'Would you mind if I take your photograph?' Amy: 'I'd really rather you didn't.' Emily: 'I was not hoping to take a photograph of you but your emotions.' What an original thought! A camera which can record what we often try to hide.

Self-Taped audition in German for a farming commercial.

OSCAR NIGHT 2015. The Academy Awards are here again. I once was part of the International Berlin Film Festival and was awarded the German Acadeny 'Film Award in Gold' for best actress in the film 'Interview' with Red Carpet and glitter-drenched events. Good luck to all fellow actors who are nominated.

SELF-TAPING Second time casting directors have asked me to film myself and upload the video file via email. Looks like more and more is expected of actors. This is an image from my self-taped endeavour, playing a well-heeled lady who gives a sales assistant a hard time. The script is just hilarious. Not so much fun is the self-filming. It goes like this: First short-listed. Then comes the script, learning lines, putting on the slap, dressing up, staying calm, editing all, loading up and despite all the effort, may not getting the part. That's the life of an actor. BINGO
