BBC Deadly 60

Working with Steve Backshall and the Deadly 60 was one of the best production experiences I have ever had. The premise of Steve´s show is to find as many deadly creatures in as many locations across the World as possible.

His arrival in Baja had us encountering Rattle Snakes, Squid, Tarantulas, Scorpions and various other creepy crawlies.

I have never worked with snakes before, let alone some of the World´s most deadly Rattle Snakes. After recovering from the shock of finding most of the deadly snakes within a few meters of where I was sleeping. I can honestly say I have found yet another animal that fascinates me and enthrals me.
