011110 - The Ben Hur Experience and Short Term Future

Wow, what an exciting month its been. Working on Ben Hur was such a great experience. Meeting so many people, rehearsing, and performing at ANZ Stadium was just. It is said that there were over 100 000 people who came to watch the shows over the Friday and Saturday Nights. I will never forget the feeling of running into a stadium with a crowd that big cheering you on. I had goosebumps and was on such a high especially during our gladiator fight scene. I would like to thank all my friends and family and everyone who came out to the shows.

Looking forward, the next two months is jam packed with Short Film Shoots, Music Video Shoots, TV Commercials and Many Live Performances, namely one for the DVD launch of the Karate Kid sponsored by Sony and Cartoon Network.

011010 - Ben Hur

Hey Everyone,

This week I will start rehearsals for the upcoming Stadium Spectacular “Ben Hur”. This is a Stadefrance Production and is Narrated by Russell Crowe. The Multimillion dollar production is believed to be the biggest theatrical event to hit our shores. The role I will be playing is that of a Gladiator. I am looking forward to being a part of this production but it is going to be tough 3 weeks as rehearsals are 6 days a week and very long hours. It will be an exciting challenge and I cant wait to perform in front of a packed house at ANZ Stadium. It will be on the 22nd and 23rd of October. If you would like tickets or further information on the Event please visit www.benhur.com.au
