What do you do in the Vertical Industry?
I'm an actor!
How did you come across Vertical Dramas?
I landed my first Vertical just a few weeks after graduating from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, and quickly realised how big this scene is about to get!
What is your favourite project you have worked on so far?
I have a soft spot in my heart for After Awakening: Siblings Strike Back - it was a lot of fun getting smashed in the head with a bottle!
What is the craziest thing you have found yourself doing while working on a vertical?
Oh boy. I've woken from many a coma, I've played the school bully in a tennis match, I've dug a woman out of an early grave, I've been bullied at the alter, I've left the woman I love at the alter, I've stopped my gangster dad from shooting everybody in the family, I've been tied up to a chair and done the untying... the fun never stops on vertical sets!
Any funny stories you can share with us?
Too many to share... too many secrets to spill...
Who is your unsung hero? Someone in the industry who should get more credit?
Hair and makeup. HMU are always the most loving, caring and creative people. I always find such safety and fun in the makeup chair - it's often the first place we have to be at the beginning of a long shoot day. They tend to have a magical way of relaxing everything and as an actor it's a blessing to sit in the chair and submit fully to their work. A good HMU artist is an absolute asset to work with!
What do you wish more people knew about verticals?
I wish people knew how hard the crews work behind the scenes. A lot of the attention lands on us as the actors, but the crews work really, really hard to help us do our best work and to share that with all of you.
What developments would you like to see in the industry in the year ahead?
I’d love to see greater diversity in casting and acting! This scene is so exciting - to make sure it keeps growing we need this.
What are you most proud of?
As an actor, being able to consistently pay your rent and bills and stay fed is an absolute dream.
In my first year out of Conservatory I am already fully on my feet and flying! I'm so proud of this! It's been so hard, but I feel very grateful to be here!
Which vertical actor would you like to play you in the biopic of your life?
CONNOR TUOHY - his range is honestly insane. I'd love to see him play me! He deserves to show just how good he is on more projects in 2025!!
