About me

View profile

My Parents, Roy Purcell and Myrtle Moss were both Actors. I was a professional actor from leaving school until my mid-thirties. I then retrained as a Solicitor and became a Criminal Defence Advocate and subsequently a part-time Judge. My improvised performance art period! Now I have returned to my roots. My first book 'Duty Brief" about my time as a Criminal Brief was published last year.
