Every year, during the month of June, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place, way back in 1969.

As well as being a month long celebration, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community.  Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month, and there are many street parties, community events, poetry readings, public speaking, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants.

Showing off my fake elbow injury after a day down the coal pits of Yorkshire on Gentleman Jack. August 2018

I first became a 'Supporting Artist' (that's the more professional and polite word for an 'extra') about twenty years ago, but it wasn't something that I ever intended, nor was it a job that I even knew existed at that time. My journey into the film industry was a rather random series of events, that started whilst I was working in the urban and rural slums of Tamil Nadu, in India. I was a developmental cognitive neuropsychologist at the time, working at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, and when the opportunity arose to research the effects of malnutrition on the brains of mothers and babies in India, I jumped at the chance.

Costume Fittings

This is what a costume rail looks like on a modern film production.

I'm not generally a fan of fashion, I hate shopping, and I tend to wear the same thing every day because it is one less thing to think about. In fact, I like what Steve Jobs did in having a wardrobe full of the exact same outfit each day. But I've come to tolerate shopping and now only buy clothes when I've got a role that I need to find items for, so I try and get myself into the head of the character I'm playing, and then shop for them rather than for myself. It really works a treat! Thankfully there are some excellent charity shops near me and my most recent purchase for a production was a rainbow coloured feather boa and a sparkly top!

Hair, Make-Up, Costume, and Props always inspire me to get into the head and back story of my character.
