Actor · Filmmaker · Founder

Stories about care, connection, and the words we choose.

A creative polymath: actor, writer, filmmaker, and founder of English Enjoyed. I write, direct, and perform in short films and on stage, and through English Enjoyed I share formal British English, in all its wit and elegance, with more than three million followers.

A love of language, stories, and all things classical.

I read French at university, spent my Erasmus year in France, and began teaching English there. Ballet, music, art, French cinema, and period drama all find their way into my work, for I believe a story is often the finest vessel for a message.
