Actor, London UK
About Me
Hello, I'm Chris Bearne, currently fumbling my way through my new website, my old one having vanished into cyberspace. I'll add more when I can work out how! My latest claim to fame - today, 7/12/17 - is receiving the Angel Film Award for Best Supporting Male Actor in a Short for my role as a homeless man in "Red and the Blues"
I'm a stage and screen actor, with a long résumé running from 1980 in stage work, fully rebooted in a year's intensive training with the Actors Company, London, 2004-5 and starting in film in 1990 with a number of featured roles in movies shot in Luxembourg. Since finishing training I've performed on stage in about three dozen plays and on screen in a similar number of films, including lead roles in three. Right is a still of me as Father Fred in Oh My God, release pending (Palm Tree Films), for which I won Best Male Supporting Actor at the Monaco International Film Festival 2016. All this is uploaded into my Spotlight, Mandy and IMDB profiles.
