Role Players

Our role players are professional actors with performance experience ranging across mainstream film, stage and television and other forms of entertainment. They represent a wide range of ages and ethnic backgrounds. Many also have business experience and are all able to bring credibility to role play scenarios. Our actors are all experienced in the specific requirements of role play.

A matron of a large hospital faced with missing drugs….a vandal on a train trying to avoid detection…. a rioter being approached by a riot squad…. a woman in consultation with a medical doctor… a customer with a complaint……a witness to a crime being interviewed…. a new immigrant being interviewed with the help of an interpreter. These are just a few of the hugely diverse range of roles undertaken by our team.
