Gary
Burfield-Wallis.

A mature character actor with a grounded, authoritative presence, natural warmth and an instinct for dry humour.

I’m drawn to characters with something going on beneath the surface: the world-weary, the quietly eccentric, the reassuring — and the less reassuring. I work with scripted dialogue, improvisation and direct-to-camera delivery.

Recent screen work includes playing the Elder in Trial of the Greenwood (2026), directed by Tobey Gannon. Camera-focused training has covered marks, eyelines, frame awareness and continuity, alongside character, voice and scene work.

Believable, relaxed on-camera content that gives a message room to land.

I bring a conversational style to presenting, spokesperson work and content creation. I can follow a script or brief, improvise appropriately and adapt the tone to the audience.

Food and drink, cooking and baking, technology and gadgets, pets and everyday life are all natural territory. I can film from my home setup and take content through editing in DaVinci Resolve.

Decades in digital production also mean I understand the work around the performance: a clear brief, practical decisions and dependable delivery.

Based in Swindon, Wiltshire, with practical access to London, Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas.

My background spans technology, digital production, photography and writing. As co-founder and Technical Director of Rogue Interactive, I spent years translating ideas and briefs into practical work, alongside clients and creative teams.

I’ve also presented a YouTube channel about life on the road, written travel and lifestyle books, and run Cooking, Clicks & Canines. Cooking, cameras and dogs are recurring themes — on screen and off.

I bring that experience to every shoot: curiosity, calm, and a sense of humour.
