About Gerry Wade…
I trained as an actor at the Brendan Smith Academy back in the day. Then, as now, gigs were in short supply. I got a regular job and hoped that one day my chance to act professionally would come. Some years back I took the plunge and while it has been rough at times I never regretted it for a moment. Some people say why, I say why not? The single most important thing you must have is perseverance. Film making is another facet of what I do. All my short films have been shown at festivals from Tokyo to Dallas and all over the UK and Ireland. If you need an actor who is hard working and reliable – look no further.Thank you for taking the time to vist this site and hope to hear from you in the future.
Kind Regards,
Gerry Wade
