Acting is a Crossroad with infinite paths to the life I could have had.
Hey guys and thanks for visiting my site. Well where do I start? I was born in Dublin, Ireland. I am of African Descent as both my parents are Nigerian. I was an avid footballer where I plied my trade with teams such as St.Patricks Athletic & Shamrock Rovers. I even had a couple of trials when I was younger, but the moment I got to University, all of that went out the window. I've a BSc in Computer Science from University College Dublin (and yes I'm a qualified programmer) and an MSc in Business Management from Dublin City University, so why did I decide to become an Actor?
I didn't go to UCD because of the Academic Excellence my parents wanted me to achieve; I went there because I heard so much about its Energy, Diversity and Voracity for life the students have.
Everything for me started with the UCD Arts Fashion Show. I had never modeled in my life and I felt it would be a great way to make friends. The audition phase was pretty intimidating as a lot of the guys I remember were taking off their shirts and showing off their 8 and sometimes more often than not their 10 packs. At the time, I was packing nothing but a Ham & Cheese Sandwich for Lunch.
When all was said and done, I was eventually cast as a model, to my own amazement and certainly my sisters'. The show was held in the RDS and we performed (or should I say modeled) to over 4,000 people. The Excitement, The Buzz and Vigour I got from been on the stage, left a lasting impression on me, and as they say the rest is history.
At the moment, I'm best known for my role as the No Nonsense Social Worker Felix Jones in RTÉ's Hit Soap Drama Fair City.
I've just completed filming on a movie called "The Other Side" opposite the wonderful John Rhys Davis and Joe Flanigan which will be released in April 2011.
