Jambaz

Filming a pilot for new series about a gang leader who saves the day.  I play an MI6 officer who is hunting down some terrorists in Kenya and has to enlist the help of Jambaz. The biggest challenge for me, having had six months out to have a baby, was trying to make my brain work! Eventually I managed to reel off the list of terror suspects without pausing or stuttering!

Waiting

Directing actors through the ADR on a Kenyan/German film called the 'Captain of Nakara' at the Protel Studios.

One of the main skills in the actor's armoury is being put to the test today: that of being able to wait...

Comedy Casting

In the Blue Sky casting suite in Nairobi today and yesterday, casting for a new French movie starring Dany Boon.

It's a comedy so looking for a toothless market stall holder, a mouthy taxi driver, a jovial Maasai Chief, a snooty hotel receptionist and a gormless gardener. Lots of fun.
