I don’t step onto a stage to look larger than life. I come to make contact.

As an actor, I’m drawn to the moment when a person no longer knows whether they are still performing — or have already given themselves away. That split second before the line, that little tear in the fabric of the universe where anything might happen: that is where I go looking for my characters.

I like roles with rough edges. People who contradict themselves. A look that makes one claim while the hand is already doing the opposite. It isn’t the pose that interests me, but what is still breathing underneath it. I believe in the power of the unfinished. Characters who don’t want to explain themselves, but leave a trace.

In front of the camera, I try not to want too much. I listen. I let myself be met. I trust that a thought can become visible before it is spoken. On stage, I look for the same seriousness, only with a different kind of breath: more immediate, more dangerous, in contact with a room that knows at once whether you’re lying.

I am an actor, singer, director and creative collaborator. To me, that means taking the material seriously. Not using a text, but listening to it. Not dressing up a scene, but stripping it back to what matters. I like working with people who don’t mistake friction for trouble, but recognise it as the beginning of something.

What I offer is not a ready-made template. More a state of complete readiness: to be thrown into a story without losing sight of it. I can bring clarity, doubt, warmth, comedy, hardness. Sometimes all in a single breath, because people rarely arrive neatly sorted.

I’m looking for projects in which language has a price and silence isn’t empty. Stories that neither put wounds on display nor quietly cover them up. Characters with a pulse. Teams with nerve. When we work together, I bring focus, experience, curiosity, and the appetite to question a scene until it answers. No louder than necessary. But awake. Fully committed.
