James Cotter's Acting Showreel (2007 - 2009) (HD)

[simonpenum]

Do you do comedy AND drama? Do you have a particular preference?

[cotterj99]

@simonpenum Yes I do. I have done a fair few projects since this showreel was made. In regards to me having a preference it just depends on the quailty of the script. Comedy is properly more fun to make though.

[simonpenum]

@cotterj99 Yeah I could seriously see you in something like the thick of it, or the office. There is a naturalistic quality to your stuff

ps has "Hair dressers" been broadcast? Is it a real show or is it a prospective one made by you and a friend?

[cotterj99]

@simonpenum Thank you I played the lead in a naturalistic short comedy film called Work Experience which is quite like Peep Show and The Office which is online.

We're talking to a local BBC station about getting the series broadcast but we have already got a local radio station lined up. We are recording the whole series first before it is broadcast on air.

Excellent! Shows an actor who really throws himself into his roles. Hope it gets you recognition, sir!

Thank you for your glowing review David it means a lot to me. I do like to put everything into my roles, lets hope that passion and enthusiasm gets me to the top.

You saved the best til last with the crispy duck. Grief, you looked so flaming young in H+D so glad to see your newer roles are beginning to look believable in age and range. Excellent, but you aren't that angry in real life, eh?

Regards

Thanks for the feedback. I thought it was a nice touch to end on the crispy duck gag and I am glad you liked it too. It was two years ago now Harris & Doyle and Ross was three! I seem to be good at playing anger but I am more like Spicer then Harris in my real life aggression.

Hi James

A great little showcase for your talents, but I'm betting it doesn't even scratch the surface.

I'm definitely Impressed.

Thank you for your kind comment. I am glad you enjoyed it. I have got a few more clips I would like to include in a future showreel perhaps.
