Acting up
Tony’s accidental career as an actor continues with both a touring theatre production and the release of a new feature film.
Following its sell-out shows at the National Media Museum last summer, Bradford-based Paper Zoo’s excellent production of George Orwell’s 1984 is to begin touring the UK. The play will first travel to Manchester followed by more venues to be announced. Damian O’Keefe and Ben Eagle are the antagonists; Tony provides the voice of the all-seeing Telescreen. The production received national acclaim for its innovative use of the image of John Hurt, cast as an omnipotent Big Brother and seen on a giant screen above the stage.
Tony’s feature film debut as Russian gangster Christopher Lentz in the Austin Brothers Production Cricket will receive its cast and crew screening on Saturday, February 27, in Manchester. This low-budget independent production stars Dutch Dore-Boize as a trucker who inadvertently tangles with the Mafia.
