THE SAD NEWS OF THE DEATH OF MY FRIEND ALEX `HUGGABLE` HIGGINS
Alex Higgins the legend that dragged Snooker kicking and screaming into the 20th Century has died aged just 61. I spent a year with Alex in London, Leeds, Belfast and Dublin in 2006-7 while I was working with him on his autobiography `From the Eye of the Hurricane`. That book was a best selling autobiography of the greatest snooker player ever. We had rows, we laughed, he cried and we both lived to tell the tale. Alex was a real character in the true sense of the word, he could cut you dead with a curt remark, then in the next breath he could have you hugging him. He was a charmer and great company when he was at his best, he will be sadly missed by everyone who ever met him, and had the honour of spending time in his company. Good bye Alex I`ll miss you very much, as will the world, let`s hope that the City of Belfast authorities recognise what you have done for the City, and rename the other airport after you.
ALEX AND I SEALING THE BOOK DEAL IN BELFAST.
THE LATEST NEWS FOR JULY 2010
THE NEW SNOOKER BOOK IS NOW IN THE SHOPS AND ON THE NET
I had a brilliant day out with Jimmy White in Epsom. We launched the `Little Book of Snooker` at the Waterstones book shop in the Ashley centre, all the royalties are going to provide free cancer information films, which I made of my cancer treatments. There are copies of the book in the shop that Jimmy and I have autographed. Every book that is sold allows me to donate 5 copies of the cancer information film to someone and their family, who is going through the cancer treatment of Radiotherapy or Chemotherapy. I will be appearing with other stars of stage, screen and sport around the country to raise funding to give away my film, I have had cancer 3 times. Go to my web site at www.look4lumps.com for more up to date information on cancer detection and advances.
I am doing lots of interviews for London and Nottingham based newspapers, magazines and web sites about the book. I am also now commissioned to write a two page column every month for a publishing group, they issue 300,000 high class magazines every month in Essex, London, Herts, Bucks, Jersey, Guernsey and Kent, with Surrey on-board in August. That is 32 magazines in total, with a readership estimated at over two million people. Look out for the `Life` magazines in all these counties or go to http://www.life-mags.com/to see the full list.
KILLER BABE....THE MOVIE
YOU COULD BE AT THE PREMIERE AND THE AFTER PARTY...READ ON
The film is now in the can and edited, I have a part in this gangster movie with all the usual suspects, Dave Courtney, Freddie Foreman, Howard Marks, Big Joe Egan and Fred Batt from `Most Haunted`. I also got Mikey Carroll a part where he was going to be killed by Alex Reid the Winner of CBB. Unfortunately Alex decided to dip out of his obligations and didn`t finish all his scenes, Mikey was then killed by boxing champion Robin Reid who is not a relative. The script had to be re-written and filming days re-sheduled, we all know who is responsible for this happening and it isn`t a good thing in the film industry to break your word. The director Liam Galvin wrote the scene specially for me, I am directing a porn movie and ......you`ll have to wait until it comes out on DVD on April 9th to find out and see what happens next, but I can tell you that it is very gory, and despite what the papers say about the scene with Alex Reid and Yvette Rowland; it isn`t a porn movie. The film will premiere on April 29th in London, if you`d like to come along and join us at the after party, you can meet all the attending cast and crew members.

A SHORT BIOGRAPHY
I have only been in the Entertainment business since 1998, before that I was an Engineer, Insurance salesman, Financial Advisor, Property Developer and Publican.A lot of people ask me why I am so successful in a field that is so competitive, why have I found success and made a good living in a business like ours, without any formal training? The answer is simple really, if the work isn`t there iI go and create it, I do not confine myself to just one direction. If a tree isn`t getting any water it sends it`s roots out to find it. You must do the same if you want to progress in any business, don`t just sit and dream about ideas, go and sell them. You are not just an actor, presenter, writer or performer, you are many things and each needs to be nurtured and developed. I started out as an extra, then progressed into presenting and now I write for a living. I still act and I still do lots of fun work in the film and television world, the writing gives me the means to the end. When I was growing up in a working class environment I was made to feel guilty about being talented, I grew up being embarrassed that I was good at creating, ideas and wanting to go out into the world and achieve my dreams. We now live in a world where creative people are being given the opportunity to create the products of their talents, so don`t waste the opportunity, just go for it...... I found it easy to become an actor by drawing on my previous background and experiences, I have had the privilege of working on film sets with some of the worlds greatest talent and have studied them closely to see how they perform, I have also studied method acting and have had some challenging roles which are documented on my Acting Page. I have exploited many aspects of the entertainment media, and these are documented on the other pages. I hope you find this website of interest. Now go to the links on the left to see the other aspects of my career.
