I'm not an actor! How does this keep happening to me?


Porn The Musical
Porn the Musical was more fun than I can ever possibly describe. I had a fantastic time with the creators, cast and crew. Make all the jokes you want. We certainly did.

Reviews
First run:
The Times Weekender, 28 March, 2009

Second run:
The Malta Independent

Edinburgh Fringe Festival:
4 Stars Edinburgh Evening News, 26 August 2009 (Second half of article),
"David Ellul steals the show"

4 Stars Broadway World, 14 August, 2009
"David Ellul is uncannily magnetic"

4 Stars Remote Goat

All The Festivals Only 3 Stars, but it still strokes my ego.
"David Ellul is one of the finest singers in the cast and he’s certainly the most engaging comedy actor. He plays the part of Dr. Johnny Long, a supernaturally well-endowed porn star, with great energy, charisma and comic timing."

Videos for 'PHD'


This is from the second weekend of the first run. What almost no one knew was that I was crazy sick, with a horrible case of strep throat, and was still walking with a cane from a leg injury (see below). Acting!!! :-)





This recording is from the album. The video is an adaptation of a series of slides that played on a large screen behind Dr. Johnny while he sings his introduction song. Max Dingli, who played the lead character of Stephan Bugeja is the creative genius who created the slides. As a correction, despite what the video says at the end, Boris wrote the lyrics for this song.



Hairspray
Another fantastic experience. I can't seem to find much on the web about it to link to other than this Hairspray The Musical - Preview
There is a video included. I think it is from our dress rehearsal.



Agora
I have no idea if I'm actually in the movie or not, as I've not seen it yet. I had a speaking line with Max. "Let's get out while we can". I actually broke my leg during this (ruptured Achilles tendon), but insisted on finishing things. I can't help but mention that I never saw a cent of insurance money from this, and it led to a fairly difficult time. I also have a hunch my scene ended up on the cutting room floor. Maybe it will show up in the extended directors cut ;-)
As for my leg....




Other Stuff
This that and then some. I've been a background extra in various things over the years. Maybe you'll see me in a rerun for something. Right now I'm occasionally having a bit of fun playing 'Pirate Tim' and leading a few tourists at a time on a treasure hunt. Swimming, diving, crawling through caves and playing guitar on a sailing ship. Not exactly the worst job on planet earth ;-)
