Biography

Born in Enfield in 1978 Neil was raised in the neighbouring North London suburb of Barnet. Having spent several years working in retail management and looking for an outlet for his artistic nature, after some soul-searching and a strong desire for something different in life, Neil discovered acting towards the end of 2011, an avenue he didn't think was previously possible for himself. Due to his physique, 6'7"/201cm and 130kg , Neil was beginning to be offered the roles of henchmen, doorman, security guards and villains which has included a number of appearances in television and films that have included BBC's prime time Saturday show 'Atlantis' in 2013, Channel 4's cult comedy 'Cardinal Burns' in 2014 and a number of appearances in a variety of TV shows such as 'Stan Lee's Lucky Man', 'Chrisleys Knows Best' and 'Murder in Successville'. Although typecasted due to his size, Neil brings nothing but professionalism and positivity to the roles he is given in what is a tough and highly competitive industry.
