Back in LA!!!



After being back in London for 5 months the time finally came to return back to LA, and what a great feeling it is to be here. It was great to be home in Essex with my family and friends on my doorstep and work has been fantastic too, but as I've talked about before I've always had unfinished business in LA and believe in myself that I will be able to achieve all I have ever dreamed about one day. Yes I went through hard times last year, struggling to get work out here, but I feel so much more prepared this year, I know exactly what to expect and I am a year wiser to focus all my energy on achieving my goals.



New pictures as you can see above and a better attitude this year will stand me in full stead for whats to come. Also, and extremely importantly after spending 5 months apart from my girlfriend, we finally get to see each other and build on our relationship. Something I always strongly believe that is needed in order to for other parts of your life to work out. It doesn't have to be a girlfriend, but having strong, positive influences in your life will always help you get the best from yourself. (Can you tell I've been reading some different books to my usual sport sport sport ones? ha)

It is incredible to be back and I certainly feel fortunate to have the opportunities out here. Something that I will not be taking for granted this year. Very importantly I will be taking advantage of the sunshine and the hot weather!!! ha. It's absolutely incredible! We are in the heart of winter and since I have been back the temperatures have been in the 80's (late 20's c for us English). Amazing what an affect weather can have on you.



This year is all about ensuring that I do not make the same mistakes I made last year. Prioritising work at all costs and everything that comes with it. This means getting back on a diet to reduce the heavy carbohydrate intake (no bread, pasta, potatoes etc) and hitting the gym hard and often to ensure I give myself the best opportunities to work in LA. I will be doing a bit of football coaching too to keep myself busy and active, which is made easier by the weather of course.


I definitely have an aim to take more pictures this year and to try very hard to update my blog on an every couple of days basis. So, look out for more on my adventures here, where as always I will show you all the good, the bad and the ugly side to my life.

Working on ITV Jackpot247

First of all excuse the expression on my face ha ha - difficult capturing a screen shot whilst live on TV and you never know what kind of faces you will be pulling ha. I'm also sure those who are watching probably see me do things and say things that I have no idea why I'm saying ha, so I apologise for that. HOW IT STARTED After working on another casino show on and off for 4 years, I was always looking to start moving things forward and to look for new opportunities, and to be brutally honest to get out of the previous place. (I'm not going to talk about the other place in this post but will do another one specifically about that very soon.) The opportunity came up a while ago when a friend of mine started working for the company Netplay on Supercasino which is on channel 5. He has the same agency as me and so our booker sent my showreel over to them. Fortunately for me, they kept hold of my details until they started recruiting again and I was very lucky to be abl...

Coping with Disappointment

Image
Being a self employed model and TV presenter often brings about a great amount of opportunities for exciting and potentially life changing jobs that could arise. As discussed previously, I had a great opportunity for some regular work with style haul, a very successful YouTube channel. The casting for this went extremely well and I received some immediate feedback about the job. However, unfortunately for me nothing came to fruition and I didn't get the job. Complete disappointment. Coping with this disappointment is something that I have had to get used to over the past 5 years of my life. It's quite an incredible emotion to have to deal with on such a regular basis. I think back to when I worked previously away from the entertainment industry and the only possible disappointments I could have got was being rejected a pay rise or a promotion, which may have happened once or twice in 6 years! It is very different when for work I have to regularly audition for jobs and roles in ...

Contact Lens Job - Amazing how its shot

Hi all, Yesterday I had a job for a contact lens company that to be honest I didnt really know too much about what the job entailed. I arrived a nice late call time of half 10 to see a studio that was filled with people and everything was in the process of being set up. It was a commercial, or so I thought. What I then found out a bit later was that I was shooting a "how to use contact lenses" video for the companies website. Very random, but at the same time I must admit I thought very very easy! mistake! So the day started sitting chatting to the girl model there, an Anerican girl called Mel, married to an English Director, who had some amazing stories to tell. Thats whats great about jobs sometimes when you get to meet such a range of people with some incredile stories. Mel was great and we got on great, which always makes a job a lot easier. Make up artist had some great stories too about jobs when she was younger and abroad, about all the inner crew relationships! ha ha ...
