An award winning stage and screen actor, Siv is a rapidly rising star on the comedy circuit, especially when it comes to White / Black comedy ... about blacks who think like whites ... told by a black guy who sounds white.
”Contrary to popular belief there is a new generation of black people who don't bitch about the 'struggle', who can swim, dogs do like them and they didn't vote for Jacob Zuma!” says Siv, who stars in “DEKAF” a one man show directed by the fabulous David Newton, which takes the audience into the world of a black man raised in the suburbs, schooled in a private school system, dating white women ... and a fan of Josh Groban!
Siv is a well known Actor and has appeared in many films, including World Unseen, Schweitzer, Laduma, Amequekquekra, Invictus, Ship Wreck Mutiny and Natalie in South Africa. His Small Screen pedigree includes starring roles in League of Glory, Khululeka Stokvell and the BBC’s Outcasts. In 2008 he won a role in an episode of 24, opposite Kieifer Sutherland. His stage roles include a tour of London with Fugard Monologues.
