'One Mans Fight For A Wee Bit Of Quiet'

An actors lot is never done...and as I live by my job, I'm being as creative as I can ...

I’ve been writing furiously and have managed to create a short play for stage. It’s a unique blend of STILL GAME and LINE OF DUTY, as most of my UK friends will recognize.

This hour-long comedy is titled “THE STAKEOUT.” It follows the conversations between two cops sitting in an old, unmarked police car, observing a known criminal and his accomplices. CALLUM and ALLY must make the most of their time, hoping for something exciting to break the monotony of their mundane lives before they succumb to boredom.

With performance in spring next year and the possibility of a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe, the clock is ticking.

Come and see myself and DUNCAN AIRLIE JAMES (Jingle-Jangle, Tomb Raider) attempt to set the world straight in an hour-long show.

We'll keep you posted on the progress on this website !

River City Promo

River City, the long running BBC TV Series, set in West-Scotland, has seen me, John Walker, acting in three episodes, Episode 25.45, Episode 25.49 and Episode 25.56. In a role as DC Allen, a role that was very near to my old Police heart as I was quite familiar with Police work from the 22 years I have worked as a Police Officer in Scotland. So back to the old job actually. :)

To know what the series is about, you'll need to watch the River City Series on BBC iPlayer or when on Air on BBC Scotland.

Storyline

The Collies Shed 

In August I was back on The Fringe in Edinburgh playing on Stage with " The Collies Shed" a production by Shelley Midler. This production was on Stage in 2023 as well and received numerous 4 and 5 Star reviews.

All Shook Up 

Cast as Sheriff Earl in the stage production of "All Shook Up" by Joe Dipietro.

All Shook Up is based upon original Elvis Presley songs but the story is all new and depicts a farce that will have you sitting on the tip of your chair laughing out loud and singing along with many known Elvis songs.

This production was originally listed to appear in local theaters in October 2023 but due to some technical issues had to be postponed to February 2024. 

Jack & Sara

Jack, a scruffy, unshaven middle-aged man wanders through a Glasgow park feeding birds. A young woman, Sara, sits on a bench, busily making plans on her mobile phone. Jack sits next to her and pulls out a pack of sandwiches. He slides one of the sandwiches over to Sara, asking her if she wants it. The young lady is clearly taken aback by this and goes on the offensive, saying she has no money, as clearly she reasons this is what he is looking for. Sara explains she is busy and reveals she wants to be an actress.

See John as the scruffy looking Jack who....
