Acting to get the word out!

Getting ready for the set

Most of the acting work I do is - surprisingly - in drama or comedies but, every once in a while, I land commercial or infomercial work.

During summer 2012, I appeared in a luggage commercial destined for TV in the Chinese mainland, of all places. I didn't have my camera with me, so no shots of that but if I ever get the promised DVD, maybe I'll upload some footage.

I also landed the role of  Research Engineer for a Haan infomercial that I believe is set to air, sometime, in the US.

Getting ready for the director to say 'Action"

For this role, I had to speak English with a German accent.

The director fed me my lines as we went along, so I not only had to remember the line, I had to produce it back in accented form! A classic example of multi-tasking!


The Haan shoot took place on a Saturday morning and was wonderfully efficient. The call time was for 8 a.m. and my role was wrapped shortly after 11 a.m.

Production Co-ordinator Adam - at the ready!

I'm showing some 'behind-the-scenes' photos, including me in make-up as well as pix of crew members.
