JUSTIN PIERRE
Ask actor Justin Pierre how he caught the acting bug and you
won't get the answer, you're expecting.
"Well I wanted to be a cameraman when I was about 14," He
explains, "but you needed physics and I was rubbish at physics.
Because I enjoyed acting anyway I just thought to myselfÉNo,
I wanna try acting, I'll come above cameraman and I really
started to enjoy it."
Since drama school, Justin has deftly handled a variety of
roles from Shakespeare's Othello, Tybalt and Oberon to a gay
detective in Burnside and the serene Mike in attachments.
"I just like articulating different people's voices." Pierre
adds. " You've got all these different people in the world
and when you act you're given a big chance to be this character
and that character and I just like to articulate the voices
of these people - that's what I love about it."
Justin enjoys connecting with an audience and maybe challenging
their perceptions about other people and themselves.
"I'm not saying everything you do has an affect on people,"
he comments, "but I do believe it can change people in a positive
way."
