Biography

Noted for his proficiency in not one, but two Romance languages, namely Spanish and French, with the ability to converse fluently in both. Currently resides in the esteemed city of London, a hub of cultural and artistic expression.

Educated at the prestigious Bristol University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Hispanic Studies, laying the foundation for his future endeavors in the world of entertainment.

Throughout his illustrious career, he has had the privilege of appearing in numerous British plays and television programs, solidifying his reputation as a talented and versatile performer.

While perhaps most recognizable to Americans for his iconic portrayal of the esteemed detective Sherlock Holmes in the 1985 film "Young Sherlock Holmes", his impressive body of work extends far beyond this notable role.
