When Kieran Sarkozi opened The Barber Lounge on Church Road nine years ago, a film and TV director he'd met when he was just 19 unexpectedly showed up. The pair began chatting and decided to produce a local series from his barber shop, in which Kieran would interview public figures and locals with interesting stories.
Once the first series was complete they jetted off to the United States where Kieran interviewed Hollywood stars and visited them in their luxury homes in Malibu and Calabasas. It was a surreal experience for Kieran who wanted to be an actor since he was a child but never had the right opportunities.
The part-time actor landed his first role as a rival Russian Mafia boss, playing alongside the original Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno. He has gone on to appear in Dr Who, Paintball Massacre alongside other productions. For the last few years acting has taken a back seat, but the local barber has not given up on his dreams.
