Yes! This is a Business Show so don't think I've turned it into a Showbiz Show. Do read on!       

Today I welcome Christopher Villiers whom many of you will recognise as Grayson Sinclair in Emmerdale on ITV. He is an outstanding actor with a list of film and television credits spanning twenty years, ranging from BBC's Mansfield Park, Paramount's Top Secret, Columbia's First Knight, Faith in the Future, Stig of the Dump, The Vice, Casualty and Midsomer Murders.

He has appeared in Paul Greengrass' film Bloody Sunday and Murphy's Law.

Christopher Villiers has a thirst and an understanding for the industry inspired by his father being a film director, mother an actress, his sister is an Oscar-winning film producer, his brother an actor and his wife a theatrical agent.

As well as acting, Christopher Villiers has also written for the screen and in 2002 had his first feature-film, Two Men Went to War released to much acclaim.

But today I'll be talking to him about the Company he formed some 15 years ago that supplies specialist extras to the film industry.

You can see full details at http://www.2020casting.com.

Included in the just under 200 films that the Company has provided specialist extras are Saving Private Ryan Bel Ami (2011), Gulliver's Travels (2010), London Boulevard (2010), The Special Relationship (2010), Green Zone (2010), The Wolfman (2010), "Identity" (2010), This Is Jinsy (2010), Sherlock Holmes (2009), "Secret Diary of a Call Girl" (2007), Atonement (2007), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), Shaun of the Dead (2004). The complete list is just golden.

 The Local Business Forum ran for 2 years and is coming back by popular demand. New exciting format that will push members to grow their businesses on the Video Master Class Plan, Tele-Coaching and much more. I have been a successful salesman for over 40 years and have had to develop winning marketing strategies. In addition I have taught hundreds of salesmen for some half a dozen companies. There are also others in their specialist fields who will be joining me to make this exciting and profitable. This practical experience will ensure all those joining the Local Business Forum will have the best chance of success. This looks to be a great project and I look forward to welcoming the first cohort during September, just a few short weeks away.
