Jim is cast

The role of Jim, the mentor type dude, has been cast.

Andy Barkham has accepted the role. I've known Andy for about 6 years now, seen him on stage and also had the pleasure of acting with him, directing him and sharing the odd beer or two.

I asked Andy to sum himself up and he said:

Andy: Born -1963, started acting 2001.

Rich: Have you done much acting?

Andy: Well, theres Canterbury Tales, Neville's Island, Jack and the Beanstalk, Five Kinds of Silence, Twelfth
Night,The Merry Widow, Sleeping Beauty, God's Official, A Sentimental
Journey,The Merry Wives of Windsor, Up N Under, Hello Dolly
(Horace Vandergelder), One for the Road, The Importance of Being Ernest,
The Dining Room, Loot, Sweeny Todd, The Dumbwaiter, Dead Dad Dog. A Slice
of Saturday Night.

Rich: A couple of shows then! Anything else?

Andy: I've also worked backstage, done the ASM job, and produced productions.

Rich: I'll shut up now.

On a serious note though, Andy is one of the reliables. He is always the first to pitch in and help out, always the first to rehersals. If you can get passed his dry, sometimes(!) sarcastic sense of humour, you'll be fine.
