Some of his favourite roles have included Jack and the Wolf in “Into The Woods” (USA), The Inspector in “The Mousetrap” (European Tour), Mr. Sowerberry in “Oliver” (Cork Opera House/Helix), Gary in “I Love You You're Perfect Now Change" (CAT Club/Half Moon Theatre), and most recently as Tony in “Wet Paint” (Granary/Everyman Theatre).
