http://www.starnow.co.uk/REALRAMESH From a young age I have always had
the ambition to star in a film or similar production. I have always had that thirst to
perform to a worldwide audience. My acting skills have made people cry but also
laugh, evoke fear and happiness. I breathe,eat and sleep acting. Whenever I watch
a film or a TV serial, I enjoy it but at the same time think why should I not be

Acting experience
My name is Ramesh and I am a 47 years old British Sri Lankan male. I am
5’9”tall and my weight is 60kg (9.5 stone). I originate from the north of Sri
Lanka and have lived in the UK for the last 24 years. I am fluent in both Tamil
and English. I have a burning ambition to become an actor and would welcome
suitable roles in television advertisements, plays or film, filmed either in the UK
or in India.
During my time at college in Sri Lanka, I participated in English and Tamil
Drama and also took part in several Elocution/Debating contests and won many
awards. The award that stands out the most in my college days was the prize I got
for playing Brutus when I won the ‘Best Actor’ award in the production of Julius
Cesar on the College prize giving day. In the UK, in 1990, I trained two
candidates aged 13 and 8 for separate Tamil Elocution contests and they both
won first prize.
When I worked as an Accountant for DSG International plc Head office at Hemel
Hempstead, I was screen-tested and chosen for a Curry’s washing machine advert
that was broadcast on UK national television.
In 2004, I acted in a Tamil film, KANAVUGAL NEEJAMAANAAL (If dream
come true), a two-hour UK production where I played a small part as a Religious
preacher, which was released successfully in February 2005. Recently, I acted in
two Tamil films, NEERK KOLAM & LONDON MAPPILLAI which will be
released next year. Most recently, I have acted in another Tamil film, Oor
Ithayaththile (From One Heart), which was released on 11 November 2006. In
2004, I also presented a one-hour live “Tamil Cinema song request programme”
in Dish Asia Network, France Tamil Television.
In July 2005, I was an extra in a Moorefields Eye Hospital charity project, to
raise awareness of glaucoma, particularly in ethnic minority communities. Jon
Sen at Illyria Films directed this.
I am currently playing a major role as the heroine’s dad who is also the hero’s
uncle in a London based Tamil production called “CHITRA” which is currently
being shown on Deepam TV, GTV and CeeITV (Sky 797 South For You). This
mega serial that had 176 half an hour episodes, had been produced and directed
by Ragam Productions. My eldest son has also gained a small role as my son in
this first Tamil mega serial produced in Europe.
In September 2008, I acted in a NHS project for “Reasons to Quit Smoking”
advertising campaign that is currently being broadcasted on all national channels
in the UK. Sam Miller at Mustard directed this. I had to go through a sequence of
casting/recall for this role contested for by many British Asians.
I am extremely keen to play suitable roles in any (Tamil/Hindi/English)
productions. I am also looking to play small roles in The Bill, Casualty,
Eastenders etc. My photographs are attached.
