Testimonials
"Herb acted in a live action with animation shoot, the production benefited having Herb on board. He engaged with the character, and his physicality and characterisation was tremendous. Throughout the shoot Herb was professional, helpful and a pleasure to have on set. I would definitely like to work with Herb again and highly recommend his work."
Cheryl Irene - Producer - Not Stumpled Stories
"Herb, it was beyond wonderful to meet you and you were such a star."
Hannah Swift - Account Director - TCS
"Herb could not have been more of a pleasure to work with. Every step of the way he was both flexible and enthusiastic, always chipping in ideas when he could, making it much more a collaboration than just being a hired actor who turned up and left. Would love to work with him again."
Sam White – Producer – University of Gloucestershire
"Herb was great during our promotional video shoot. He took direction very well, very professional and understood exactly what I wanted with regards to wardrobe and turned up looking perfect on the day. It is worth mentioning he went above and beyond. It was an outdoor shoot so it was short notice on the official date of filming due to the weather, but he kept a week free so I could call him up when we were going ahead. Fantastic to work with, I highly recommend him."
Nicole Cronin – Director – Quill Creations.
"I had the pleasure of working with Herb on the Dreams Living Video. He is very friendly and professional and I hope to work with him again."
Lana Scott – Actor/Model
"Herb was an absolute joy to work with, he was prompt in initial contact and was on-set early to allow time to set up etc, throughout the shoot he was completely professional and patient, and most important of all he is a fantastic actor, very easy to direct and he nailed what was required of him! I will be working with him again very soon!"
Iain Molyneuz, Producer, Roundhouse Pictures
"I cast Herb to play the lead in a short film and I couldn't have asked for a better person to fill the role. Not only did he approach his role as an Actor with passion and professionalism, but he was also a pleasure to have on set. Everyone who met him including cast and crew enjoyed his company. I would definitely recommend Herb. Hopefully we'll get to work together again in the future."
