大象传媒

The actor George Webster - who was recently introduced by CBeebies as their first presenter with Down's Syndrome -chooses his Tracks Of My Years. George was talent-scouted by the 大象传媒 from his work as an ambassador for Mencap, the charity for people with learning disabilities. Earlier this year he was asked to record a myth-busting video for 大象传媒 Bitesize in which he dispelled some of the common misconceptions about people with Down's Syndrome. He began it by saying: 'I call myself George because that's who I am. Not Down's George'.

George first got into the performing arts when he was eight at a mainstream theatre and music school where he studied for 11 years. He developed a love for dance while he was there as well and hopes one day to perform on Strictly.

His first screen work was as an extra in the ITV soap Emmerdale. Earlier this year he shot a Sci-Fi film entitled BEBE A.I, co-starring Bethany Asher and Amanda Abbington and is also part of a dance troupe called the Talent Hub starring people with a learning disability and autism.

George is also an ambassador for Parkrun and acted in a short film called S.A.M. starring as a young gay man who has a crush on the local misfit. This Easter he is going to be part of a big special on CBeebies alongside his idol, Mr Tumble, called 'Mr Tumble's Busy Bus Day'.
