FERDINAND MCKAY

Scottish trilingual actor.

TRUTH & TREASON

In Truth & Treason, I play Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, a key figure who stands at the crossroads of loyalty and courage during one of history’s darkest times.

This role challenged me to explore the complexities of resistance and sacrifice, showing that even in the face of overwhelming odds, standing up for what’s right can make all the difference.

Being part of this story – based on true events – was powerful and humbling.

K NEIL

Rap and spoken word are other creative ways for me to express and process the world. I started performing spoken word at North Edinburgh Arts Theatre Project, and then found my voice as a rapper.

I first devised Frankie Malonie to give a voice to the people from the council estate I was brought up in, tackling issues of class, drug addiction and crime.

I’m currently working more on my other rap alias called K NEiL, who’s tracks are more introspective with themes of self-discovery, resilience and personal growth.

I always combine videography with my music, directing, editing and performing in each project.
