As a versatile actor capable of fitting many roles, I am available for any casting, however I am specifically interested in roles where I may utilize my many years of martial arts and sword combat training. My sample photos below characterizes this preference for martial arts and medieval-themes as I feel I am a prime candidate for such a role.
