18: I love being underwater, it's so peaceful down there
17: I built a VR experience for an exhibition a few years ago using ray marching and signed distance functions. It was way outside my comfort zone and I learned tons. Lots of pretty fractals and I am quite proud of it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pWv1...
16: I'm agnostic. It's totally wild that life, the universe and everything exists but nobody has any idea as to why it does. The scientific method Is the best tool we've found to incrementally improve our understanding.
15: I love the Culture series of books by Iain M Banks (RIP) Sci-fi is full of dystopian novels and artificial life running amok. It's refreshing to read something unapologetically utopian.
14: I catch lobsters by diving on a single breath hold and grabbing them.
13: I love to cook, Cooking food for my friends and loved ones is one of my favourite things.
12: I don't really go in for the whole, dog person or cat person thing. I've had both, and I love them all. I'm a pets are awesome person, whatever their fur, scales, exoskeleton, skin, or feathers
11: my favourite weather is thick heavy snow. Second favourite is an absolutely howling storm.
10: I'm shite at football, hence the rugby, lol.
9: I played rugby union for most of my teens. I was open side flank and occasionally second row. I loved it and was good at it, but I have no desire to play again
8: I suffer from chronic vestibular migraines. It's like being blackout drunk without any of the fun bits leading up to it. I manage it well though and I don't have horrible blow outs too frequently:)
7: I'm a joint BAFTA award winner. I did a lot of the art for Monstermind the 2013 winner of the best we game BAFTA (I sometimes toy with the idea of putting BAFTA award winning, actor in my bio 😜)
6: I had basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer but like...not too scary) on my face. I had a substantial chunk of my upper lip removed but you can barely tell because the surgeon and the NHS are awesy
5: My current heaviest lift is a 185kg deadlift (about 400 or so lbs)
4: One of my ambitions is to lift the Dinnie Stones. 2 big chunks of granite in Scotland that weigh 332 kg (733 lbs)
3: my favourite food is a cheese and bacon Staffordshire oatcakes. Oatcakes are practically a religion where I grew up
2: I used to have pretty serious Thalassophobia (fear of deep bodies of water) I conquered it by learning to free dive.
Alright, here we go. Before I was a software engineer (day job) and voice actor, I worked in the games industry as an artist and animator.
