Alec Porter currently stars in The Odyssey as part of London's Free Open Air Theatre Season – among the roles he plays in the 3-part epic story are Philoitios, a butcher and aspiring ballad singer and Hermes, a god and Zeus' messenger.
Alec is returning to The Scoop after playing the lead role of Razkolnikov in last year's Crime and Punishment – A Rock Musical.
