Brief biography
I left Dr Challoners Grammar School with 8 'O' levels and worked in construction and demolition for a few years. I moved to the US for 9 years working in bars, playing in bands and studying performing arts in Tucson AZ.
When I returned to England, I became a professional wrestler and subsequently secured a acting role as John in Snatch. I continued to work as an actor in commercials, as well as on TV and in films, and later formed a rock band and released the album 'Meanstreets'.
At the age of 42 I decided to become a cage fighter, debuting at Cage Rage 14 at Wembley Arena after 5 months of hard training. After some initial losses I returned to Tucson and trained with Don Frye - I have been victorious ever since.
I'm currently playing the role of Fenrir Greyback in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. My credits include Snatch, Batman Begins, Outlaw, Stormbreaker, Elizabeth The Golden Age and The Cottage.
