Anthony Mark Streeter

Anthony Mark O'Brien, born in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire, coinciding with a total lunar eclipse. He was settled into foster care early in life, appreciating a stable, adventurous childhood within a family of nine. Raised on a healthy dose of spaghetti westerns & chapters from the ultimate spy, he would perform blue-sky plays with his sisters & brothers, taking part in theatrical productions within the scout movement & school. A contentment found in the performing arts that he would rediscover later in life. A musical director once scolded the nine year old for his solo performance of, "The Sparrow" for singing out of tune, already showing signs of developing his character, staying truthful to clues given in dialogue. Returning to live with his mother during his high school years he shone in many subjects though English & Drama left an indelible impression on the young student. Mainly due to his teacher of the subjects who was also his form tutor. Volunteering into the army in 1995, awarded 'Top Recruit' & 'Best at Physical Training' at his passing out parade, going on to complete the All Arms Commando Course earning the much coveted green beret, travelling extensively, yet deciding to leave before the start of a new millennium. Situated at a crossroads in life, realising he would have to try an establish another career, something that he cherished, as does with hindsight, he looked back at his younger years deciding to take different direction.
