Following ‘Fresh’ Roger went back into modelling.. One day, his modelling agency called him to go to a casting for a TV commercial.

The receptionist sent him into the wrong room by mistake! In that room, a totally different audition was taking place…

Paul Kerryson, theatre director and Julian Kelly musical director, were auditioning for two musicals one of which was a musical called ‘Hotstuff.’

Roger apologised for walking in but joked with them and told them that he could sing, not thinking that they would take him seriously. To Roger’s surprise they invited him to sing!

His professional singing and acting career began that day! He landed the lead character ‘Joe Soap in ‘Hotstuff!’ which ran at the Leicester Haymarket theatre
