Don Gilet
Funny, confident, upbeat, big voice. Uninhibited. His comic timing, accent and character ability is second to none. He is sharp as a knife and has all the energy on tap.
He is well known for his cockney, Eastenders role but his real accent is Brummie. Naturally talks with a hint of Brummie which he can strengthen or weaken easily.
He is very well practised & trained in other accents listed. Has used them all in good TV/film roles.
Ask for separate or longer clips.
