I want to talk about Signal, but "current affairs" won't let me. Published by AHE. on 7 th April 2026 If I could ditch my phone completely and go back to a flip-phone, or one of those cool slidey ones from the 2000s, I would. Phones were so fun back then. The same goes for computers. Once we move I'm planning to get my desktop set up again, and the first thing I'm going to do is ditch Windows and…
A roundup of auditions, recalls, and booked jobs from March 2026. Published by AHE. on 7 th April 2026 Auditions - 2 of those auditions Ads - 2 (self-tapes) March was another slow one, but again I find myself okay with that.

Published by AHE. on 06 th April 2026 Louis released a new documentary and responses have been mixed. Inside the Manosphere is the new documentary from Louis Theroux. Whilst I think the hype around its release was well deserved, and the film does a lot of things right, it seems to be a victim of its own subject matter. If you don't know anything at all about the "manosphere culture", first off…
Published by AHE. on 13 th March 2026 or "In praise of Bear Blog " It's the one year anniversary of this blog, and I've been thinking a lot about why I started AHE, what my motivations and goals were, and why I continue to write. To keep things brief I, like many others, got my start writing a blog/being involved with the Indieweb community through Neocities , after being recommended some Indieweb…

Published by AHE. on 24 th February 2026 Life took a sharp left turn, and I'm just about hanging on. The idea that it's only been 20 days since I last updated this site is crazy to me. I honestly don't know where to start with everything that's happened so I'm just going to go through them in chronological order. First off, I got word from my agent that I was down to the final two for a film role…
A roundup of auditions, recalls, and booked jobs from January 2026. Published by AHE. on 31 st January 2026 Auditions - 0 January was great, no two ways about it. I quit my day-job and did a play; teenage me would be thrilled. Quitting my day-job has been on the cards for some time now. I've been there for around 5-6 years and have basically been working in the same field since I was a teenager,…
I got nostalgic over Christmas and thought about movies. I really over-booked myself this Christmas: I took on loads of shifts on top of rehearsing the January play, and still tried to see friends as often as possible. Don't get me wrong, a lot of it was worth it, but I didn't get much of a chance to really slow down and enjoy much of it. The one chance I did get for a bit of me-time came when I…

I promised a peek behind the curtain at the nuts-and-bolts of what happened in my "career" this year; so here it…
🗓️//December Audition Round-up A roundup of auditions, recalls, and booked jobs from December 2025 Published by AHE. on 19 th December 2025 Auditions - 0 No auditions this month, and on reflection that's probably been a good thing. As it is every year, December is deceptively busy. For some reason I thought taking on a play, doing as many shifts as possible at the day-job, and preparing for a big…
🎭//A change in mindset Mindset, Grindset, Hit the GYM, NO BREAKS!!! SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK!!!!!!! Published by AHE. on 12 th December 2025 I've tried to write about this a couple of times, and every time I do, I sound like an influencer trying to sell some bullshit mentorship course.
