Andrew began acting in his early teens playing roles varying from the Nurse in 'Romeo and Juliet' to Willy Wonka in 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory' within local theatre productions. Having later worked as a Cabaret Artist for Weststar Holidays Ltd he then went on to study a Drama and Psychology degree course at Liverpool Hope University College. It was during this time that Andrew realised his real passion was for acting and that he needed to learn the craft in order to pursue a professional career in the industry and fulfil his ambitions as a theatre actor.
Andrew trained at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) graduating in 2005 with a 1st Class BA in Acting. During training roles included, Valentine in 'Two Gentleman of Verona', Gerald Thornton in 'Time and The Conways' and The Maid in 'Brezhnev's Children'. Since entering the profession the majority of Andrew's work has been within theatre and film. Theatre credits include Stanhope in the Broadway Theatre, Lewisham's production of 'Journey's End', Lysander in a Cambridge Open Air production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and the roles of Adam in 'Time of My Life' and Clive in 'Season's Greetings' at The Palace Theatre, Westcliff. Feature film credits include 'COLIN' for Nowhere Fast Productions and 'Temporary Spirits' for Deep End Digital.
Andrew continues to participate in short courses to expand his industry knowledge and flex his acting muscles on a regular basis. Most recently Andrew took part in MicKSing Productions 'Meet The Casting Directors' workshop with casting directors Beth Charkham and Camilla Evans at the Spotlight offices in Leicester Place and also The Actors' Platform Agent Workshop at Craven Street Rehearsal Rooms. Prior to this Andrew joined The Actors' Temple exploring the fundamental principals of acting through the work of Sanford Meisner and the repetition exercise. He has also worked with casting directors Catherine Willis, Glenn Bexfield, seasoned serial drama director Nic Phillips and film casting director Jeremy Zimmermann on the, 'Shot To Be Seen' TV, Film and Commercials Course with The Actors Studio based at Pinewood Studios.
Andrew is now striving to further his theatre, film and television credits and has been honing his screen acting skills over the past 2 years in order to gather material for his showreel, which is now available to view in the media section.
