9 days since my last update on the Game Of Thrones set, what has been happening? Well I am safely back in Ireland after riding horses with the Devils Horsemen and have been hitting the gym really hard, muscle memory is wonderful, unless you are in the costume department that is...

A quick photo from Finn Jones , who will play Ser Loras "The Knight Of Flowers" in HBO's upcoming series A Game Of Thrones. Here we are riding down a country laneway in the English countryside: 
"The Mountain That Rides"Thanks to Finn for uploading the photo and allowing me to steal it, saves me from bluetoothing it on Friday, and thanks to Winter Is Coming for alerting me that he'd already put the photo online. |

Well, almost, but not quite. In fact there are Ser Gregor Clegane Action Pewter Miniatures, but being pewter and about 32mm (1 & 1/ 5 inch) tall there isn't too much action either. 
Ser Gregor Clegane Fighting The Red Viper (Book 3) So OK, it's not Conan Stevens and it's not action and it's a miniature - but since when did truth get in the way of a good fantasy story? Why am I talking about these in the first place? This is the interesting bit George R.R. Martin, the author of the Game Of Throne book series that HBO has license personally wrote me an email today.... Oh yes, and a little about my horse riding training... |

I have now been in Belfast for 4 days, most of the time sitting in my hotel room, trying to work on my new book (yes I know I was supposed to finish it already, but there were some other issues that took priority ). The incredible life of an actor includes me going to the gym and then sitting in front of my laptop eating a can of baked beans and a tin of sardines ( combined 40g protein, 38g carbs and some good fish oils), or chicken sandwiches or instant noodles with a tin of tuna mixed in, or fruit and low fat natural yoghurt, or oatmeal and skim milk, you get the picture. I'm in a nice hotel, I've got a daily food allowance, I'm getting paid - why the heck am I eating like a self supporting University student? For more on meeting Jason Momoa and Rory McCann and Gregors armour read on...

I fly to Belfast, Ireland tonight to start work with HBO's new TV series Game Of Thrones as Ser Gregor Clegane. I have some armour fittings, sword training and horse riding lessons (it's been a long time since I rode last) to do before my filming starts. Better go and pack my bag, lucky I am rather experienced at International travel now and it'll take me about 30 minutes, then to go get all my paperwork in order and try to relax a little. |

Bangkok Adrenaline the movie I wrote the script for and co-starred in gets US DVD/BlueRay release on the 12th October 2010, just a few weeks away. For me this will be interesting to see how much interest is generated within the US, obviously because this is the primary film market in the world..... |

(*** I have not yet signed the contract so nothing is 100% certain until then but we have a good relationship with the Casting and Production houses I am happy to be working with professionals on a professional Western shoot again. Production has been rather accomodating and flexible which has been an added bonus and makes me happy to be working with them ***) Now signed!
Ser Gregor Clegane, "The Mountain That Rides" - the character for the upcoming HBO TV series that I originally wrote about waayyyy back in March 2007 has now been cast. And it's me! I am to play Ser Gregor Clegane, "the baddest knight in a realm full of bad asses". This is BIG news for my career, and next time some 2 bit Australian agent or casting agency looks at me with disdain and says that my CV contains "only" Asian movie credits and apparently not worth as much as a no pay, no budget Australian period piece that might show on regional TV networks to a huge Australia audience of 19 million potential (compared to the "only" 2.5 Billion people in the Asian market) Anyway I digress. This credit as will validate my acting career in a major US TV series as Gregor Clegane is a major character. No walk on big angry bad guy role here. Thank God... and my preparations... and the fans. The credit of working as Gregor Clegane with a big reputable company like HBO on a TV series that has such a promising production crew line up that it is as guaranteed as it is possible to get in becoming a hit TV show..... |

Bangkok Adrenaline, the movie my mates and I made ourselves, and I wrote, that had a successful 7 week run in Thai cinemas is now available in Australia. Video Ezy has the DVD to rent, it'd be nice if I got some media coverage for this. Nice short post.

There are several good reasons why I don't work in Thai produced or co-produced movies anymore, this is a recent example I can publish that isn't defamatory (even if it is the truth) to anyone....

I need help contacting any Australian media outlet that would be interested in running an article/interview with me. I am thinking FHM, Playboy or Penthouse or any of the other men's magazines would be ideal publications.
If you know anyone in the Australian media I would VERY much appreciate any help getting into the mainstream media. This will boost my website traffic, and the advertising revenue that I get from this site is what I currently live off (barely). I would also be very interested in any sponsorship deals. Thankyou in advance, Conan. |

This is some new (well recently released on DVD) footage of me fighting Chinese TV Star Guo Xiao-dong as "Ma Qing-feng" from the movie True Legend. I'll be editing this into my new showreel in a prominent spot as soon as I get some footage aor photos from the Produvers of the film "Mystic Blade" that I shot recently in a character and fight that I love..... |

A new fansite with the making of Bangkok Adrenaline and behind the scenes photos has come to my attention. Most of the photos and blog links are from my own photo pages and articles but not all. Better yet for Bangkok Adrenaline fans the site is laid out in an easy to find and read manner rather than strewn over several years of blog posts like this site's Bangkok Adrenaline posts. Go and have a read, it tells pretty much exactly how we went about making Bangkok Adrenaline . |

I
just scored a parts in 2 movies starting filming tomorrow - as typical
in this country, everything at the very last minute. One part is small
and insignificant and the other is a good action part with a good fight
scene. The small part has the benefit I'll be able to finish my latest
movie script for presentation to... an interested investor upon my return in a week or so. Brilliant. Life and career moving ahead again. I'll write more later. |

True Legend, the Chinese 3D action movie of 2010, has been released across China today in time for Chinese New Year, so you know it is a big release movie. True Legend opens across the rest of Asia about the same time, in Thailand it is the week after, on the 18th Feb that it hits cinemas, so I'll have to wait until then to see it, hopefully there is an Imax cinema in Pattaya so I can see myself in 3D too.

AWESOME! It is not often I get excited about a movie.
Solomon Kane is another character by Robert E. Howard - the creator of the Conan (the barbarian) character.
This is one movie that I am looking forward to watching, it looks like a faithful reproduction of the book character which is important for me as the character in Robert E. Howards books has always resonated with me.
He is strong emotionally, mentally and physically tough (not big and muscular like the Conan character) with a strong life purpose - just the sort of 'hero' needed by todays youth....

Recently on an Actors forum I replied to a post asking if an actor should have a personal website. Another qualified poster said it was more than important it is essential these days and talked about the old days when you would get out the Telephone book and look someone's number up.
He then went on to say when was the last time you looked up a business in the Telephone book? Years and years if I can remember rightly, probably over 10 years for me. These days I type in the business namke into Google and get the details from the web, or if that fails I use the Yellow Pages online.
You as an actor are a business, selling yourself, so yes you need to get online and findable....

New Opportunity = New showreel.
Just about everytime a new chance for a movie part that is big comes along, out I come with a new showreel... if I can... So that means I have been asked if I would like to be in a new BIG movie that everyone will know??? Can't say just yet but had an interesting social meeting the other night....
Since Bangkok Adrenaline is now out all across Thailand I can get some footage, unfortunately it has all been dubbed into Thai.... except for 2 deleted scenes that were added to the DVD edition as extra features!
Yay! Footage of me speaking English! Not dubbed into Thai, Hindi, or Mandarin as usual.
Bangkok Adrenaline In Stores (Powerkids is the DVD above)
Funnily enough the Powerkids DVD was on sale just above the Bangkok Adrenaline DVD. Too bad the Powerkids footage is useless at this point in my career....

Is Conan's movie career about to emulate the Big Bang? i.e. before there was nothing and after the Big Bang there was a whole universe (of opportunity).
Well not really nothing before hand, but for American audiences Conan is still an unknown. Which unfortunately translates to Australian audiences (and more pointedly industry professionals) equating Conan with a Zero, Indian and Asian films don't count apparently in Australia, such small minds... but that is a different article altogether, so lets get back on track...
Will Conan's career go supernova very soon shooting him in a bright light upon the American movie scene?
I have been contacted to work in a role that I believe I am suitable for, in a US movie, filming in the US, through my Australian Agent with a very well known film star. Now I have to complete the audition successfully as the next step and with any luck (luck = prior work and commitment) I'll soon be known to many millions more, and most importantly start working in movies that pay well.
That's all I can write for now. I will let you know any further developments when I am allowed to write about it.

As an actor the roles you get will be less dependant upon your abilitites than the abilities of your agent.
A harsh reality, an even harsher reality when your agent isn't very good.
So how do you get a good acting agent?

A couple of weeks ago three agents called me within a few days and I was put up for 3 different TV Commercials (TVC's). One was for Japan, one for Russia and one for Thailand.
Turns out the Russian one was only a small part so I did not need to go for a casting, just my recent photos were enough, the Japanese TVC I had to go to a casting (2 casting it turned out), and the Thai TVC my photos were enough to start with...

David Carradine, star of the age old TV series Kung Fu, was today found dead in his Bangkok hotel room, several stories are already making the rounds in the media, hopefully the media will settle on onenon-conflicting story to make the "suicide" ruling more believable.
David has 222 acting credits to his name on his IMDB page, 14 movies for 2009 alone! This is how I personally met David - in Beijing onset during the filming of the True Legend movie, in fact we had a full day of filming together, as he played my boss....

Our movie, Bangkok Adrenaline, has finished its run in cinemas in Thailand - 7 weeks total, the longest run being in my new home town - Pattaya. Bangkok Adrenaline was a cinematical success!
According to my knowledge in Thai cinema there several cut off points if your movie doesn't make monetary targets it is removed from cinema.
Bangkok Adrenaline made it past the two cut off points and was allowed to run until it stopped making profits....

Bangkok Adrenaline is finally released today 14th May 2009. 3 nights ago I attended the preview screening, held at Siam Paragon, Bangkok.
First up I was surprised that the marketing team had decided to use me as the centre piece for some of the advertising posters, apparently they see me as being a minor celebrity here and thought I would be better known to the Northern audiences, since I have been in a few big budget releases already.

Anyway Bangkok Adrenaline will be getting good coverage...

Two weeks before Christmas 2008 I was scheduled to interviewed on the internet radio station Morning Show Central at www.uncensorednetnoise.com (with over 100,000 listeners world wide), unfortunately we had some difficulty with the telephone hook up and had to reshedule the interview.
3 days before I left to Beijing, to work on the movie True Legend I got on the show, so if you ever wanted to know what Conan Stevens sounds like in person, here is your (recorded) chance...

Finally the movie that I moved to Thailand for has been released, 4 /12 years after I filmed in it we finally get to see it. For me it was very funny, a sense of deja vu, or in reality being taken back to that niave person who came and worked for peanuts in my 1st ever Thai film (to be honest though I would not have been paid anymore no matter what I did).
Back then I thought how good it would be to be seen on the big screen in my new temporary home and how good it would be to be recognised by a few avid movie fans who had watched the movie, and we waited, and waited.....
