Dear Jonathan, I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and hope all your dreams come true.Never stop doing what you love! xo

More pictures :)

From the "Runaway Bride" filming (in February)

As I see, Film making is extremely difficult, but interesting process (even if it's a short film), which involves a large number of people.

Jon was having a great time with his students in a pub after the film shooting last week

Another picture from the film set

I've always wanted to be on a movie set. (Hope someday I will be). Even as just the fly on the wall :) Just to watch, to observe. Even if the film location is ...toilet :)

Here is another picture of Jonathan filming showreels

New month! New day! Let's go start November off on a good start!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Jonathan. It's from the Winter's tale (the play I saw last autumn). To Jon: I wish you the very best of luck in your job. Hope you enjoy teaching :)

It's been real quiet in here. Still no news about Jonathan. These two pictures are from the “Wuthering Heights”. The first time I saw Jonathan was this movie. A long time ago :)

Have a pleasant week and a wonderful September!

P.S. Hope there will be some good news about Jonathan.

Farran at Bay will be unavailable to listeners today. This drama has an interesting story, the whole play is great. Hope there will be more radio plays with Jonathan in them as a lead actor.

"Farran at Bay" is available to listen for another 3-4 days! Hurry up! It’s a well written and beautifully acted play. Jonathan appeared in this drama as a lead actor. It’s always great to hear his voice. His voice runs smooth like honey. It has such a sweet tone to it.:)

"Farran at Bay" ia available to listen for another 7 days. Here is an Iplayer link. Enjoy!

BBC play "Farran At Bay"

Jonathan is on BBC Radio 4 with a new play called Farran At Bay (BBC Afternoon Drama) by Hugh Costello.

A Jewish teenager is spotted handing out anti-British propaganda in Jerusalem in 1947, and witnesses later see him being bustled into a car by armed men speaking English. The abduction, along with the disappearance of a decorated war hero, begin to make the papers worldwide, and Inspector Bellamy is given the task of investigating the case and achieving justice for the victim - but the event threatens to destabilise Britain's control of Palestine.

This play is scheduled on Thursday, 10 July, at 2.15-3.00 p.m. (UK)

Jonathan is playing Colonel Ferguson. Radio play recording has begun in May.
