He said: "It was very nerve racking but thoroughly enjoyable. The rush was something I wanted to feel again." Since then he has landed himself roles in small budget films. He also has a supporting role in the yet-to-be released feature film Lost in Italy, in which he plays the younger version of Ray Winstone's character.
He said: "It was incredibly surreal to find myself acting in a scene with such big names. The series has been a huge hit in the USA and broken viewing records."
Hatfields and McCoys tells the true story of two feuding families in deep south of the US in 1863 to 1891.
It is aired on Channel 5 from tomorrow at 9pm.

“It would have been nice if under the picture it clearly stated which one of the bearded folk was our local boy. Gosh, looking at the picture - even the women had beards in those days!”

“Coming from Gloucester he will have lots of firsthand experience of inbred hillbillies to help with the role.”
