SEAN MURRAY Voice Sample

SEAN MURRAY

Born in Scotland of a Scots mother and Irish father, Sean lived in Africa and Iran before becoming an Essex boy in his early teens.

During rehearsals for his first school nativity play, he realised it was easier for him to impress the girls with a sensitive portrayal of the 'first shepherd' rather than with his footballing skills, which were and still are negligible.

Grammar school educated, though not academically inclined, he narrowly avoided getting expelled and worked as a dustman, hospital porter, cook, waiter, barman, nightnurse, driver and car thief before going to drama school.

Sean revels in the physicality of performance and has often done his own stunt work on camera. He recently convinced the National Theatre audience he was a uniped, when he played 'Bradley' in Buried Child for Matthew Warchus.

Television and film credits include playing a series regular in Without Motive (Monty Fowler) and Berkeley Square (Arnold St. John) and 'Guildenstern' in Franco Zefferelli's Hamlet starring Mel Gibson.

Passions other than acting include his two sons, music (plays saxophone and guitar), dancing, rollerblading, gardening, art and design, tools and all aspects of building work. He is also a very fine carpenter....
