Biography

Andrew has recently returned from Hong Kong where he was playing Phileas Fogg in a musical production of Around the World in Eighty Days. He trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, and graduated playing Shylock in The Merchant of Venice.

Since Bristol, theatre work in the UK has included national tours of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Peter Quince) and Macbeth (Banquo), Dr Detmold in the London première of Sondheim’s musical Anyone Can Whistle, Hamlet in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead for Jersey Opera House, Herbert Pocket/Uncle Pumblechook in Great Expectations for NTC Touring Theatre, and repertory seasons at a number of theatres where roles have included Bob Phillips in Ayckbourn’s How the Other Half Loves, Bryan Snow in Noel Coward’s Star Quality and John Terry in Tudor Gates’ Who Killed ‘Agatha’ Christie? He has been alternately villainous and benign in several pantomime productions around the country, and will be appearing as The Beast in Beauty & The Beast for Winchester Theatre Royal this Christmas.

Radio work includes various recordings for the BBC, most recently the voice of John Milton for BBC America’s The World. Andrew also wrote and delivered the narration – entirely in iambic pentameter – for a concert performance of Berlioz’s Beatrice & Benedick for the Cambridge Berlioz Festival.

For Methuen Drama he edited Actors’ Yearbook for the 2007 and 2008 editions, which Sir Peter Hall described as ‘indispensable to the young actor’.
