Carl Halling is a Christian actor, singer, songwriter and writer, born London in 1955, but more importantly born again in 1993 aged 37 after an extended youth that has been thoroughly repented of. He resides in the southwestern suburbs of his home town of London, England. He studied at the French Lycee, London, Pangbourne College, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the University of London among other places of learning. As an actor, he made early professional appearances at the Bristol Old Vic and the Old Vic, London. Further engagements included appearing as Feste in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and as Roote in “The Hothouse” by Harold Pinter at the Rose and Crown Theatre, London. He had a singing role in “Miss Morison’s Ghost”, written by Ian Curteis, and directed by John Bruce for Anglia Television. He was for about a year and a half lead singer with Barrie Guard’s group, Nuages (2000-2002). He's written a good many songs himself, both Christian and secular, and hopes to perform some of these at youtube in the very near future. Most recently, a CD featuring his voice was released entitled "A Taste of Summer Wine" by James Hughes, Carl Halling with the London Swingtette (http://myspace.com/swingtette). His hobbies include the Internet, watching DVDs and videos, and reading. He's been writing since the 1970s, but soon after he became a Christian in 1993, he destroyed most of what he'd written up until that point, and then wrote quite happily for a time as a Christian, including for Street Level, a Christian theatre group based in Croydon, London where he served variously as actor, writer, musician and MC. In about 1998 he more or less gave up creative writing altogether. Finally, in January 2006, he believes God made it clear that he was mature enough to be able to write again, and so started tentatively publishing pieces at the Blogster website with the first autobiographical one being written sometime around the spring of 2006. Since then he's written copiously, including the first volume of his autobiography, the memoir/novella, "Rescue of a Rock and Roll Child", a "Meditation on a Cyber Church", and the first few sections of a further autobiographical work, "Tales from the Halling Valley". All have been written from a strongly Christian, Bible-Believing perspective.
