Actor, writer, linguist; collector of stuff and eater of things who is usually in York, sometimes in Bristol, and very occasionally in London.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬--------------ஜ۩۞۩ஜ---------------

I'm currently acting and doing odd-bits in-between studying for a BA in Linguistic science.

I've been accused of being good at writing; finding biscuits, performing, cooking, drawing, finding strange bits and pieces, story-telling, walking for miles without tiring and taking risks with strange dogs.

I'm told that I'm interesting to watch; have a mobile, expressive face, and flowing hands. I have a tendency to disappear and turn up again several times at will.

There's very little that I could go without. I have my favourite bits and pieces, but I can and have done without them.

Perfectly aerated ovens.

You may enquire directly to learn what I am really thinking.

Bar, pub, house, theatre, cinema; reading, out on a walk.

I can deliberately modulate my heartbeat without moving or tensing any other part of my body.

I like to think that I am not massively terrifying, and perhaps even nice. You can just ask about something regarding one of my photos if you like, or anything at all: there doesn't have to be an agenda.

If you're interested and want to message, go ahead. I'd be happy to hear from you.

You will be harshly judged and not given any biscuits at all, however, if you compare me to "Johnny Depp" or Jack Sparrow. I no longer have any dreadlocks besides.
