1 Comment

 
Picture
Steven Gidwaney is another fresh-faced thespian.

Steven is based in the Manchester and Greater Manchester regions of the United Kingdom, 

Coming from Manchester, his ultimate career goal was to appear in ITV/STV's Coronation Street and earlier in 2020, on the cusp of CoronaVirus Pandemic, he achieved just that.  His role in the longest running, episodic, serial drama in the world was of a menacing mugger where he led a group of troublemakers to attempt rob established character, David Platt, of his phone and wallet.  During his time at Media City Manchester, he rubbed shoulders with acting greats such as Kate Ford, Simon Gregson & Jack P. Shepherd - to name a few. 

When he's not terrorising Weatherfield residents, you can see Steven appear in Andrew Connor's multi-award-winning Amazon Prime series, Rebound.  Steven played Lazzy, a role which bagged him the "Best Supporting Actor" award at Queen Palm Film Festival during 2019.

Currently, you can see Steven in another one of Andrew Connor's comedies, The Lockdowners.  He's playing Barry.

Chris Stone has directed one of Steven's showreels. 

Steven learnt his craft by attending Thinking Actors and The Actors Lab in Manchester. 

In 2020, Steven recorded some content for Sky One's Brassic and will be appearing in Steve Connolly's Council Culture series. 

Steven is an avid supporter of Manchester City Fooball Club.

I'd like to see him take on a role in the medical world or a Family Liaison Officer in the police.  He has the care quality in portrayal.
