Ireland born, Spain educated and Chelsea (London) based since 1989. Thanks to a love of travel, Phelim speaks several languages and several nationalities can understand his spoken English. In an Oxford Street school he once taught and learned from a well-known entertainer! But that was only because both, being English language teachers, had been dragged before the Principal for retraining. On occasions he can still be found in a Belfast, Chelmsford, London or Worcester classroom, as he is a supply teacher and, therefore, has a lot of availability. Except for that one day, October 24 2011, at Shepperton Studios where he thought he might body-double a 19th century Russian butler but spent much of the day hanging around a green double decker bus acting as a, "resting," set builder on Joe Wright's, "Anna Karenina." That was enough to give him the bug to write what is written here, and - more importantly - now gives him the motivation, after a decade spent acting in over 150 screen productions, to turn up for your next casting.
