MY CAREER TO DATE
Movies
Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory played one of the Ten Oompa Loompa's. My first Movie and [to date] THE BEST! Can be seen in all of the Oompa Scenes especially the Song and Dances. I'm the one who does the 'cartwheels' in the TV Room. 76 Takes! Thanks Mel! And to Alka Seltzer for relieving the head aches!
Disciple of Death Played a Vampire. My second Movie filmed Boscastle and the Bodmin Moors of Cornwall. Great part, something to get my teeth into! Shame it was a "B" movie.
History of the World Part One What can I say about this one? A fantastic opportunity to work for and with the great man himself MEL BROOKS the Master! Played the part of Le Muff in the French Revolution. The censors CUT most of Le Muff's part. They would still be in if the movie were made today. "It was GOOD to be Le Muff!"
Star Wars IV ("A New Hope") A low budget” movie they said! Played the part of a JAWA, GONK DROID and (after the collapse of an actress) KABE in the Cantina. Very exciting to do as everyone suspected this was going to be BIG..........we wern't wrong!
Flash Gordon Played the part of one of the colourful small guards in Mings Empire. Can be seen in the American Football scene, stamping on foot of player and then sticking a sword up his butt!
The Spiral Staircase This was the re-make with Jacqueline Bisset. I stunted for a five-year-old girl who had to fall down a flight of stairs. My first ever stunt job. Although I had a stunt guy to train me [40 minutes] it was really scary especially when the SFX set FIRE to the stairs. I did it in one take though and yet another opportunity to work with a great Director, the late Peter Collinson {The Italian Job} I worked with Peter's wife Lisa a few years later in Variety.
UFO Played the part of Henry the Eight. Great fun to film.
Funnybones A Super Movie by Peter Chelsom. Played the part of a Bagpipe Playing Dwarf. Strange seeing all the weird acts.
Willow They used 470 little people from all over
Day Release A local company made this production. A terrific storyline. I played the part of Simon, who is an evil accountant screwing up the lives of all he meets.
Harry Potter and "The Philosophers Stone" An enjoyable magical time although the Make Up took 4 HOURS to apply and ONE HOUR to remove. No Joke when your call is 3.00AM!!! Much of the Gringott stuff is on the cutting room floor Oh well! That's movies!
Ali G In Da House I made the "extras" in the DVD!
Harry Potter and "The Prisoner of Azkaban". Once again with HP and his friends. This time in the Hogsmeade Choir.
Mrs Henderson Presents Playing the part of a 'strongman' at the auditions. Am proud to be associated with this delightful movie

Mirrormask playing the part of Yellow Dwarf (Green Screen)
Harry Potter and "The Order of The Phoenix" Yet another fantastic Potter Movie playing a Ministry of Magic Goblin
Fred Claus playing "Frosty the Barman" A beautiful Christmas Movie!
A Kitten for Hitler playing "Lenny". To work with the legendry Ken Russell was awesome. I learnt so much in two days! Thank you Mr. Russell.
Harry Potter and "The Half-Blood Prince". Playing a "Gringott Bank Goblin." Working with another brilliant Director, David Yates!
Harry Potter and "The Deathley Hallows" Pt 2. Playing the "Aged Goblin" Chief Bank Teller. Again with David Yates.
