Below you can read 10 questions that Darren very kindly answered for me today.

22nd July 2011

1) How did you get into acting?
It was a random occurrence, but I owe it all to Andy Ansah, whom I knew previously! Andy gave me the opportunity & I'm forever grateful. I got in contact with Andy and he offered me the opportunity to play Tyson in DT & the rest is history.

2) Who would you love to meet and have a chat with .. Dead or Alive and why?
That's such a big question, I'm not sure.. I'd like to say my grandparents as I lost them at a young age, but I will say Michael Jackson.. I think I would get a very interesting story!

3) What football team do you support?
LIVERPOOL since the age of 9!

4) What do you like to do in your spare time?
I am a family man, and have some amazing friends that compliment them, so I spend quality time with friends and family.

5) What type of music do you like, and what was the last album you bought?
I listen to a bit of everything, last Album was on Itunes & it was a Garage Classics album, taking me back! My next single/album Wretch 32 Black & White & listen out for - Don't Go.

6) Who have been the biggest influences in your life and career?
The list is extremely long & these individuals have all impacted on my life in a positive way; My Mrs Alison, Andy Ansah, Tom Walley, and the late Allan Batsford. Riane Swaine & Coleen Boxall, Peter Walshe & finally Big Mark they have all been a huge part of making me the person I am today!

7) What was your best moment filming Dream Team?
Everyday turning up for work, so many funny & unique experiences if I could bottle it I would! On screen the 1st Ep of series 10 Southend live game. It had the potential to fall flat on its face but with great help from all the cast, crew, plus players & management at Southend at the time, we made a good football montage.

8) Who were your best friends on Dream Team?
They are still 3 of my closet mates; Ricky Whittle & Alex Lawler, Andy Ansah

9) What have you been in since Dream Team ended?
Mmmm.. A play called Transfer Deadline Day, but my future lies behind the camera; I have choreographed & directed on numerous football/sport related films, adverts, viral & print campaigns ranging from The European Championships, Nike, Adidas, The 2012 Olympic campaign and many many more. I have just recently finished working on a Nike advert in Turkey. Look out for it featuring Galatasary players Adar & Kazim-Richards #BIG

10) Do you have any new filming projects coming up you can tell us about?
Yes & no, unfortunately I can't say, but keep following me on Twitter gang @Darrentyswhite I am constantly updating my followers.
