My first professional job was with Brian Way's Theatre Centre, touring schools all over the country, then 2 years in weekly rep. before going to East 15 Acting School for 3 years. After that, it was back to repertory in many regional theatres before settling in Manchester for a bit and starting to work in radio and television.
