Ambika Sharma

Ambika Sharma studied and graduated from Dentistry at Newcastle (bet you didn't expect to read that on an actor's bio, did you?), but could not resist the call of her inner Drama Queen.

Nowadays, Ambika has let the inner Drama Queen loose and can be found gracing the stage and screen with her presence; she is always trying to work on her craft, by attending workshops or classes/vocal coaching sessions. As well as acting, she also likes writing, spoken word and tapping into her creativity in many other ways, including singing badly in her car (apologies to her passengers) and dancing (she basically wants to be that dancing girl emoji in the red dress 💃🏽). Ambika is currently represented by Red Talent Management.

Ashley Pekri

Ashley developed a love for acting at a very young age when he would dance in front of his television to Mary Poppins and run around his garden with a clothes hanger sticking through a plant pot because he wanted to be Captain Hook. When he stopped doing that at the age of 21, he thought; “it’s time to do this professionally”.

Since then Ashley has worked professionally as an actor in Theatre, Film and Television. Ashley is managed by Direct Personal Management. He no longer goes by ‘Captain’ but you can find out more about his work by clicking this link
