1) Hi Jon, please tell us more, where are you from? And how did you get passionate about acting? I’m originally from North Yorkshire, England and grew up there before leaving home to study French & German at Keele University in the Midlands. After Uni I was lucky enough to go backpacking around the world for 2 years, and then spend 4 years in Tokyo teaching English. I was excited about acting from a young age and, then forgot about it until age 24 when I started studying Meisner Technique, a branch of The Method, in Japan. Once I came back to the UK, I studied for a year at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). Like most people, I guess, I got interested from watching great TV and movies with fantastic actors like Gary Oldman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Willem Dafoe and others. Then, when you start looking for work you realise that Stage acting is just as exciting and a great place to learn and practice your craft and you start paying attention
