Damien Ashley
Actor in London, United Kingdom
UK based British actor Damien Ashley has spent the better part of 10 years honing his 'craft' in London (no one seems to have found a way to kick him back to Essex yet).
Picking up a Drama degree along the way at Middlesex University, his studies also include a Performing Arts Diploma at The William Palmer College and a Screen Acting Distinction at The Met Film school within the prestigious Ealing Studios, continuing to further his skill set wherever possible.
The passion for Acting struck Damien at a young age (pretty much the moment he started speaking and annoying his parents) but it was when he saw Bruce Lee, or rather Jason Scott Lee playing Bruce Lee in 'The Dragon' at the age of 8, that his obsession with the art (both acting and Martial) started to take hold. Taking into account the fact that working class actors seldom make it in the industry, he ignored every flailing doubt in his mind, instead setting out to prove that statement wrong by creating characters that could entertain as well as move the audience, whether they loved the character or loathed him as long as they remembered him.
His real name is Damien Evan Ashley Pettit, but no one ever pronounces his surname correctly, so after much consideration he decided Ashley sounded better on the top of a poster.
