Murray Todd has a degree in economics from Wits which led to the stage, which led to London, to being the owner of an IT company and back to the stage (Shoo!).

Stage highlights include "Oklahoma", "The King and I", "Boogie Nights" (international tour), "That'll be the Day" (Naledi nomination), Britney Spears in the smash hit "We Will Rock You", Tybalt in "Romeo and Juliet" at Maynardville Cape Town and Bryan Cohen in Mike van Graans "Brother's in Blood" at the Market Theatre and most recently "Khalushi" at the State Theatre.

Murray's TV credits include the long-suffering Dr. Braydon in "Generations", "Rhythm City" "The Lab" "Jacobs Cross" and "Egoli" playing the lecherous Howard, and has appeared in over 20 commercials and quite a few movies! A career highlight was "Invictus" for Warner Bros. directed by Clint Eastwood. "I felt lucky punk!"

Murray is a prolific voice artist, and his production company GreyGuyBlonde which he runs with his beautiful wife Jo, continues to grow from strength to strength.

This performance is dedicated to his father in law Keith Galloway, who never failed to make him feel like the wind was always at his back. "I miss you old boy!"

IF YOU COULD CHANGE THE WORLD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? Take away the class system, I think its that and not colour that blinds us to each other. Of course that would mean us all earning the same, which would mean less interesting people, so I know its probably easy to say this when you have enough, but I kind of think the world is exactly where it is supposed to be, I’m a bit of a fatalist, can you tell?
