Hi,
...just read your note on the message board of the theatre classfields.
Having just moved to Melbourne (have been living in Europe before, Germany and Italy) I am still looking for things to do and would like to get involved. So, ... I could suit for the 2nd lead actor, however, I look a bit younger than 35 and I haven't been acting for a while, but this would be a great possibility to get back in again.
Plaese find my attached CV and a photo.
.
Regards,
Roger


P.S: Give me an E mail address where I can send you some photos of mine, this program doesen't really work...
