He's man that's well known in Tyneside, whether that be as former doorman on some of the city's most popular nightspots, or due to his passion for Newcastle United, but now Steve Wraith is making quite a name for himself in the world of movies, with one his latest projects getting a share of the spotlight at the world renowned Cannes film festival.
While to many Geordies, Steve is the man they'll have seen on a night out in town, or the host of countless football 'audience with' style events, alongside some NUFC greats; his love of acting found him at a young age, with him appearing in front of the camera and on stage from the age of seven to 18, before walking away from the industry. But, unlike many adults, who give up the ghost on their childhood exploits, Steve found himself longing to get back into it and took the plunge, by going back to college to do a Performing Arts degree his 30s and finding steady work as an extra, before graduating at 40.
Steven's renewed vigour for the occupation he thought he'd turned his back on years earlier, has seen him shoot films all over the country, alongside some big names from British TV and now, he's been seen on screen At Cannes, as A New Breed of Criminal, the film inspired by Newcastle's Sayers family, was shown at the famous event, which is like a shop window of film talent.
