Gene Gurie Actor
Actor Gene Gurie stars in Children’s BAFTA-winning series Secret Life of Boys on CBBC. He joined InterHigh because he found it difficult to combine acting with his studies at a secondary school.
I was at a secondary school in Islington before InterHigh, but I found it quite difficult to combine my acting and schooling.
At Interhigh my lessons come to set with me, if I can’t be in a live lesson I just watch the recorded version in tutoring time, so it fits in perfectly for me. Every day on set is different and a rigid timetable is impossible to follow so having my lessons available whenever or wherever I can do tutoring is so helpful, even when I’m up a hill in Belfast dressed as a goblin (you’ll see in the show)! Interhigh has been a real asset to me as an actor as I can do what I love while keeping up with my education at the times that suit my filming schedule.
If you have a passion for acting follow your dream, join some local acting clubs or even act out some plays with your friends. It really is hard work, but I love what I do.
