Hollywood film and TV actor Brett Wagner/Big Schwag (Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

Over a 100 TV and film credits. Sons of Anarachy… NCIS Los Angeles… Hannah Montana. Played Leatherface for the 2003 remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre—got my first kill, then got hurt and was replaced.

I’ve done a lot of movies under makeup and I love it. I love horror so much—it’s why I started acting.

Hosted the popular drag racing TV show Pass Time On Speed channel for 5 years. Have been the voice of Monster Garage throughout its life on Discovery Channel for the past 20 years and just came back to do it again after a 14-year absence of the show on the air. Have been the voice for Bad Boy Mowers for 18 years for all of their commercials and events…

Episode 12 - We meet Ruth Francis - TV Host, interviewer and Voiceover artist!!

Biog: I have been working in television for many years now, my first presenting job was in 2001 interviewing bands and pop artists at Party in the Park. Since then, I have loved my varied and exciting work, presenting everything from beauty to cars, red carpet interviews to corporate videos. I have gained thousands of hours of live TV, pre-recorded, voiceover, training and events experience.

I have been a regular on shopping TV network QVC since 2006 and I currently present a range of beauty brands here in the UK and also in Italy. In more recent years, this work has taken me to QVC US and Germany too which has been a lot of fun (and airmiles!). I no longer travel to the States but I just love being based in my home country and in Europe.

I have learned to adapt my presenting style over the years to the projects I’m working on and I’m just as comfortable in a suit doing a corporate video as I am in a glamourous dress live on air or on the red carpet!
You can see more details about who I’ve worked with and for here on my website and in my blog I will share some backstage and behind the scenes photos and stories as well as some ramblings about life.
In 2009 I trained as a life coach specialising in wellbeing and empowerment and I absolutely loved it. This prompted me to work with clients wanting to improve on confidence, presenting, personal branding for their businesses and public speaking. I have trained hundreds of candidates in big auditoriums for beauty brands and also groups in retail stores and individuals on a one-to-one basis and I like to think that I help people to find their passion and inner performer but ultimately to feel good about themselves.
Originally, I am from a small town in North Yorkshire and although I moved to London aged 20, I still feel my northern roots are strong. I love to visit my family regularly and to get out into the beautiful countryside as often as I can. My other passions are yoga and taking trips with my lovely hubby – and of course, catching up with girlfriends over a cuppa (or glass of wine) you can’t beat it!

In this episode of Warren Telling Tales – A Hub For Creators, host Warren Adams speaks with Rachel Waite from Holistic Harmonies. Rachel shares her journey of determination, tenacity, and a will to succeed, from studying contemporary dance and performing professionally, to building a new vocation centred on wellbeing, creativity, and connection.

Rachel talks about her background in performance—touring Italy with Fame the Musical, working with choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller, appearing with Caburlesque on Britain’s Got Talent (semi-finals), and even working as a body double/stand-in for Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Parts 1 & 2)—before moving into roles working with children and families, and eventually finding her calling through baby massage and music-led family support.

She also explains how she trained as a Singing Mamas Choir Leader and created Holistic Harmonies, a Community Interest Company delivering arts-for-wellbeing sessions, singing groups, singing programmes, intergenerational work, and community projects across Liverpool. If you’re feeling stuck, Rachel’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams.

Gordon Griffin comes from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, though he was actually born at Gilsland in Northumberland, where his family temporarily located in wartime. He trained at Rose Bruford College.

Career:
As a stage actor, he has half a century's experience of working in theatres up and down the British Isles, and in English-speaking productions overseas. He took part in the first national tour of Godspell, and played in Julius Caesar and in Murder in the Cathedral at Chichester Festival Theatre. Other UK regional theatres where he has performed include Derby Playhouse and the Octagon Theatre, Bolton.

For twenty years he was the Casting Director for The English Theatre of Hamburg and has cast over fifty plays, including The Importance of Being Earnest, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Arms and the Man, Candida, Blithe Spirit, The Caretaker, Private Lives and The Circle, as well as the plays of LaBute and David Mamet.

As a cabaret singer he has performed with his singing partner Francoise Geller in the UK and elsewhere. He has composed music and lyrics for productions such as The Circle, Educating Rita, When the Reaper Calls, Over the River, Through the Woods and April in Paris.[4]

His first film job, in Arabesque, required him to play a scene with Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren.

On television he has been a presenter on Play School, he played Inky in two series of Chips' Comic for Channel 4 and he spoke the first line in the first episode of Byker Grove.

Griffin has worked as a dialogue coach on Byker Grove and Kavanagh QC.

Through doing radio drama he realised that he could display great versatility with his voice alone, accessing a greater range of parts than would otherwise be possible. (For instance, in the late 'sixties when well into his twenties he took over the part of Billy the eldest grandson in The Dales, formerly Mrs Dale's Diary, who had previously been played as a boy with an unbroken voice, and played him till the serial ended.)

He 'got in on the ground floor' when audiobooks started to be recorded. For many years he has been a voiceover specialist and has recorded nearly eight hundred audiobooks, mostly unabridged.[9] The subjects have been as varied as Homer's Odyssey, Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and novels by H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, as well as more modern writers like Hilary Mantel and Melvyn Bragg. Also many titles in the Golden Age of Murder series for the British Library, and non-fiction titles such as Elegy: The First Day on the Somme, and Breakfast is a Dangerous Meal by Terence Kealey, among many others. AudioFile Magazine wrote: "Griffin is not just a narrator, but an artist of the Spoken Word. He is in the top five of the most borrowed audiobook narrators in the world."[10] In 2015-2016 his 2015 reading of Kate Ellis 's The Death Season was the sixth most borrowed adult audiobook from UK public libraries, as reported by the Public Lending Right office.

His more unusual audio recordings include having been the courteous voice advising alighting passengers to "Mind the gap, please" on the London Underground.

In 2017, Griffin was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List "For services to People with Sight Impairment".

Publication
In 2020, Griffin published his memoir Speaking Volumes.
