Caterham resident and ex de Stafford School pupil, Joshua Webster, 19, is delighted to have landed his first professional film role in a British feature film called C.O.O.L.I.O 2 - Rise of the Time Travel Gangsters.

The film is the second in a trilogy of films by producer/ writer/director Paul J Lane with filming starting in September. The first is to be released later this year starring Geoff Bell, Vicki Michelle and Frank Maloney.

Joshua, who studied Performing Arts, Theatre and Music at Reigate Sixth Form College said: "I started acting when I was four and took classes for theatre training. I continued my training when I went to Reigate College and this role came about because I took a weekend course with the director, Paul J Lane and he asked me to go down and audition with him."

The first film in the C.O.O.L.I.O. trilogy was ranked at number eight for Most Popular Ganster Film of 2013, number three as Most Popular British Film of 2013 and number two as Most Popular Time Travel Film of 2013. The film features Dr.

Bell, an evil doctor and in the sequel, Joshua will be playing the young Dr. Bell when he was a university student.

When asked what his favourite role is Joshua said: "I quite like doing gangster films but I eventually want to find something completely different to what has been done before. I like the 'Le Noir' films and I hope to write a script focussing more on the characters rather than just blood and gore. I am collaborating with Kane Rodney, another local person."
