As it says above, I am Hugh, and I am an actor, author, and voice over artist from the UK. I live in Bath, but am also frequently in London.<\/p>\n

In acting, I have a lot of experience on both stage and screen, though have worked primarily in film and television for the last few years. In voice acting, I have worked on productions ranging from BBC Radio 4 to Audible, and frequently provide voices and narration for audiobooks. I have a professional recording studio<\/a> for this purpose.<\/p>\n

My debut children’s book – The Almost Animals – was published by Strident, and follows the adventures of Angle the crocogator and her fellow hybrid animals, known as aminals<\/i> (“They are<\/em> animals, they’re just a bit mixed up”). This is where my fascination for natural history meets my bizarre imagination.<\/p>\n

Outside acting and writing, I have one foot in the natural world, and a degree in zoology – hence all the wildlife photos on my Instagram! I spent the last few months of 2019 working in Borneo with Orangutan Appeal UK<\/a>, and look forward to more adventures in this field. In 2020 I was offered, and I accepted, a position on the board of directors for Orangutan Appeal UK.<\/p>\n

I hope that everything you need can easily be found on this website, but if not, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, either through my agents or directly. I am also happy to be contacted through social media, so feel free to follow me on Twitter or Instagram.<\/p>\n

I love the theatre and the thrill of performing in front of a live audience, but I also enjoy the style of acting needed for screen, and it is towards this that my career has leaned in recent times. My credits range from Lysander in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to playing an Auror in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and facing up to the Daleks as Zak in Doctor Who. For a full credit list, please see my Spotlight CV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everyone has heard of crocodiles.
\nEveryone has also heard of alligators.
\nBut have you ever heard of a crocogator?<\/p>\n

How about an orangupanda or a deerkat?
\nOr a rhinuffalo?<\/p>\n

These, and other marvellously peculiar creatures, are THE AMINALS! They are<\/em> animals, they are just a bit mixed up.<\/p>\n

Angle is a crocogator. But she has a problem. She doesn’t fit in with the other aminals.<\/p>\n

The thing is, a crocodile looks rather like an alligator, and an alligator looks rather like a crocodile. So she doesn’t really look like an am<\/em>in<\/em>al at all.<\/p>\n

Angle decides that she must leave Nowhere, the cliff-side village of the am<\/em>in<\/em>als, and venture into Elsewhere.<\/p>\n

But does Angle belong anywhere? She must encounter am<\/em>in<\/em>als, animals, and even a furry boulder to find out…<\/p>\n
