Borgia Series

Rodrigo Borgia - Alexander VI - Trinity Engine Test 

It is very bad form to talk, blog or otherwise reveal anything you work on as an actor (not that I act all that often) so this is the last I'll say about this. On Monday I was given a small role in a new series based on the lives of the Borgia's currently in production in Prague. I met the director again today as well as a few of the crew this morning, was welcomed aboard, and had a costume fitting.

The series stars John Doman as Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI). Although you may not know John Doman by name, if you have seen The Wire, you are unlikely to have forgotten the intimidating Commander Rawls.

I just thought I should share that news, It's an era I've always been fascinated with and I'm delighted to have a part in this intriguing story.

The following clip is a slightly racy teaser about the production, so if you're not 18yrs of age etc etc...

This clip is about the new type of camera in use in 'Borgia'.

But for now, it's back to my new portrait. A painting which I began again Wednesday after a short trip home to Scotland.

*While home in Scotland I made a number of iPhone sketches of people and places, I'll be tweeting those drawings soon and at some point post them here on Wine Ink. If you would like to see them as I tweet them, follow me on Twitter.
