Splazsh was named best album of the year by The Wire. Biography Growing up, Cunningham was a footballer, signing and playing for West Bromwich Albion until suffering an injury which derailed his career. His first introduction to music came through a friend who had a basic music studio set up in his student accommodation. When he went travelling, Cunningham purchased his studio equipment for £200. When he first began making music, Cunningham did not use a metronome, a technique which he says has contributed to how his "style developed". To fund his place on one of the first degree courses in recording arts, Cunningham signed up for a grant programme run by the PFA (Professional Footballers Association). In 2004, Following his early experiences in music and his subsequent immersion into the London club scene, Actress founded the label Werk Discs (spelt Werkdiscs from 2012). The label started as a club night and has gone on to discover and release music by about artists such as Helena Hauff, disrupt, Zomby, and Cunningham's own releases. During this early period of Cunningham's career, he remixed various productions, wrote for Soma Records and released singles and EPs through Prime Numbers and Nonplus.

Notable quotes

“Good actors never use the script unless it's amazing writing. All the good actors I've worked with, they all say whatever they want to say.”
— , "Why Fantastic Four Made Jessica Alba Want to 'Stop Actings'" by Marc Bernardin, Blastr, (Dec 14, 2012).
“The close-up says everything, it's then that an actor's learned, rehearsed behavior becomes most obvious to an audience and chips away, unconsciously, at its experience of reality. In a close-up, the audience is only inches away, and your face becomes the stage.”
— Marlon Brando, New York Times (July 2, 2004).
“I was more intolerant in the days when I said actors were cattle and the director was the herder. Today I prefer to say actors are children and the wise director treats them that way.”
— Alfred Hitchcock, as quoted in "Alfred Hitchcock Now Says Actors Are Children, Not Cattle" by Marjory Adams, in The Boston Globe (1 June 1958).
“They wanted to "teach" me to act. But to act is natural. It is ten percent acting and ninety percent being smart.”
— , as quoted in his Blue Underground talent profile.
“Acting is the most embarrassing business in the world. You never know when you're going to eat.”
— , as quoted by Myrna Oliver in:
“(The) play of limbs succeeds the play of wit.”
— Horace and James Smith, Rejected Addresses, By Lord B. Cui Bono. 11.
