Rock Salt

Born in December 1966. Educated in the West midlands before moving to Mid Wales at 18 to work as an outdoor pursuit's instructor. In 1989 Rock was privileged to hold the position of base camp manager to the British Icelandic Expedition. The first ever successful crossing of the vast Vatnajökull icecap in winter and on foot. In 1995 after a number of years teaching outdoor pursuits, Rock had the opportunity to act in a movie called "On Dangerous Ground" Starring Rob Lowe and directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark. This was a reward for taking the crew abseiling down the magnificent Lake Vyrnwy dam one evening. Rock was given a fight scene with Rob Lowe and became good friends with many of the cast and crew. Almost immediately he went on to play a supporting artist role in "An Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain", starring Hugh Grant. In retrospect Rock says he should have continued pursuing his acting career at that point but he instead continued teaching in Mid Wales.
