Testaments:
“Russell has been fantastic to work with and takes his craft very seriously but maintains a great sense of humour. He is also flexible and adaptable and his performance in Adventure Boyz has been extremely well received. I would definitely recommend and work with him again” – Howard J Ford, Director “Adventure Boyz’
“I was really drawn to Russell Shaw’s performance; he has the gift of acting with his eyes” – Cannes 2019 Adventure Boyz, Marc Zammit, Director
Check out Shaw’s showreel here:
He has a rare versatility as an actor, and in his four years with the award winning ‘Bite-Size’ company was cast in parts that encompassed the whole gamut of human emotions from the highly comedic to the dark and gritty in short plays which received rave reviews at both the Edinburgh Fringe and Brighton Fringe – and were eventually featured on a long term broadcast on Sky Arts – this alongside long term contracts with touring company ‘Murder One’ allowed him to explore acting out every aspect of human behaviour.
