Derek is now firmly establishing himself as the UK's leading Sven-Goran Eriksson impression act. Derek is  also  an acclaimed entertainer and actor in his own right. This year Derek has been in increasing demand for both his "straight impersonation" Sven act (that has fooled members of The FA's & England FCs own staff, The Media and Public) and as "Svenalike" , a "charming and entertaining" (some say "hilarious!") character of his own  invention using Sven's face, voice, mannerisms, replica wardrobe & props linked to my own brand of humour, gags, stunts and entertainment. 

 

Derek is  increasingly moving into the "mainstream" TV, entertainment, media and events business in addition to being considered by some as something oDeref a "star" in the "traditional" lookalike industry. 

Derek has a wealth of experience in  Major brand names, Printed media executives PR companies and TV Casting agents & producers and party/event organisers. 

 

The attributes Derek offers are:

 Un beaten in all auditions and screen tests!

 Look-alike/sound-alike/impressionist/TV & Film Actor/Photographic model.

After dinner speaker/Cabaret act/Comedian

meet & greet/mix and mingle entertainer
