His choreography credits include David and Goliath. He is also particularly famous for being the shortest male dancer ever admitted into the Royal Ballet School. Had he not left his audition for the school early and not missed his final physical examination, he would not have gained a place. He is often chosen for character roles due to his unusual physique.

In 2003 he appeared in the reality TV series, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!. In the 2005-2006 pantomime season he appeared in 'Beauty and the Beast' at the Theatre Royal, Windsor.
