My name is Lloyd Collins, I am an actor, model and voice-over artist. I have doubled for Morgan Freeman and worked as a lookalike for Billy Ocean. I am a huge fan of Morgan Freeman and have been fortunate enough to meet him on set. I appeared as "God" in Bruce Almighty in the second series of Channel 4 Lookalikes aired July 2018.
My career has progressed since first appearing as a lookalike, I am often booked because I look like Morgan Freeman and the "kudos" this brings to the project. A fun booking was appearing in a video at the London Fashion week 2021 promoting Yohji Yamamoto the world famous Japanese designers clothes. The video was submitted to the Cannes Film Festival. Other projects I have been involved in include various NHS campaigns, a Royal Mail TV commercial, featured in a Care Quality Commission advertising campaign and also appeared on the front cover of The American Medicare 2021 Handbook. I also featured in the Government 2021 Census commercials.
A very enjoyable project was starring as "God" in one of the legendary Prince EA video. I also fronted a rap video by "Trim" called Catching Flies and was featured in a Mae Muller music video. I was cast and appeared in Cobra, a Tamil psychological action thriller starring the legendary Vikram. The film was released in August 2022 and received rave reviews.
I was recently confirmed to play a major part in "Shattered Dreams" (the Lesley Vass story). This is based on real events when a man is wrongful convicted for a crime he did not commit and resulted in him being imprisoned for twenty years and his fight to clear his name.
There are lots of other projects I am involved in, watch this space.
Wherever I go, either at home or abroad, I am constantly being asked to pose for "selfies". The fun side of this is I often get free upgrades both on airlines and in hotels.
In addition to my Morgan Freeman and Billy Ocean roles I work as an actor, voice artist, lookalike and photographic model. My images have been used to promote a diverse range of products for national and international companies, including:- Costco, The NHS, Msn, GQ/Gillette, British Rail, Virgin Media, Barchester Homes, Levis, Walkers Crisps, The CQC and many corporate companies.
I have a distinctively "posh English" accent and do a pretty good Jamaican Patwa. I have done a number of Voice Over jobs and this is an area i want to develop.
