Dan Webb

ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT BA (HONS) GRADUATE - UNIVERSITY OF HUDDERSFIELD

Interesting fact

I worked for (Granada) ITV Studios and played the Character  ‘Aaron Dingle’, son of Chastity Dingle in Emmerdale from 2004. The role gave me significant television studio experience which involved working under tight time schedules, NDA's and being able to confidently speak with a range of people from other actors, producers and the general public in a professional manner.

How did this help me?

  • Responsible for developing character / learning lines within very short time frames
  • Working with other lead characters, directors and other film personnel in studio and on location
  • High pressure, fast paced role and very long hours
  • Meeting the press and interviews
  • Meeting the public at special events

Role secured via audition and following successful run as the Artful Dodger in ‘Oliver’ performed in Leeds.

Thank YOU

Please note that while this CV shows significant gaps in working history, I have held a number of different positions starting from 2006 and continuing through today and include working with children, in catering and bar work, and retail positions. I am happy to discuss these roles further.
