Luke Blackmore could not be in the famous 5 this year, as he was in the top list for 2015.

Luke and his family have become regular visitors to the station, just as much as friends as a performer working on first The Halfling Project and now act4ward.

Luke has that rare quality of being memorable. He slants anything he works on to his own style, and frankly does a really good job of it.

He takes direction well, and pushes himself hard.

Luke excels in theatre style performance, but is working more and more towards dramatic film television style work.

His strong personal character comes through in his performance, but much work is planned to more and more separate his natural style of acting,  to one which makes him a totally separate character  to his own.

He deserves the number one spot here because he has always worked hard, been very reliable, is a true professional when that is required, and a happy joker during the breaks.

He is that kind of actor you want on set, easy to work with, hard working to deliver and very reliable.

He also knows there is a lot to learn,and a few things to build on or change - but see's that as the job and the challenge.

Still in education, obviously time is limited often, but he is certainly someone who deserves to do well and I think he really deserves the top spot.
