As well as being a model and hand model Oliver is an actor, street artist, trained mime and physical theatre performer. These combined skills have given him a unique talent for fixed point work and over the years he has received many compliments on jobs for being able to 'hit the mark' consistently every time. This makes him an obvious choice for film and video work. With over fifteen years experience of live performance Oliver has excellent comic timing and an instinctive knack for putting people at ease creating a warm and friendly atmosphere on set. Oliver has played trumpet since the age of 7 and performs in several bands/orchestras. He is a keen swimmer and regularly swims in rivers, lakes, the sea and his local (unheated) lido throughout the year. Other sports include skiing and sailing. Although now living in London Oliver grew up in the Kent countryside with all sorts of animals including Dogs, Cats, Ducks, Geese, Goats, Sheep, Pigs and the occasional Bullock! So he'd say he's definitely an animal lover who is very experienced handling animals of all shapes and sizes and has a natural affinity with them. He is also an accomplished cook and food lover and one of his recent jobs was hand doubling for Gordon Ramsay.
