About Guy Mayfield

Born and raised in Derby, England. His father, a former mental health worker and later chef and his mother, retired nurse practitioner. He also has a younger sibling, a sister of who is former solider in the British Army and now a police officer and of whom is married to an active soldier in the British Army.At eighteen years old, Guy had a very bright and promising future as a 100 meter sprinter. Having just qualified for a call up to join the British Athletics team at the commonwealth games, life took a turn for the worse for this faster than light young man, when fate had other plans for him and he was permanently injured, forcing him to retire from an aspiring career in athletics.Spending the summer deciding his future, Guy applied to be a fighter pilot with the Royal British Air Force but at the last minute, he also filed an application to study at the University of Portsmouth, one week before the first semester started (just as a backup option), he was accepted and decided he would leave military training before it could even begin. He then spent the next several years, studying a degree in BA (Hons) Film Theoretics.Arts and languages, along with sport, had always been strongest in his skill set at school and being an avid filmmaker and connoisseur from such a young age, it made even more sense to him to pursue and develop his thirsting knowledge in understanding film more. It was during his time at university, Guy would come to learn the filmmaking craft and in several highly awarded university films, he also took acting roles within them, a talent he would later discover was in fact his strongest all along.After graduating in 2007, he then spent the next several years, paying off student loans like any other former student and traveling the world in yearn of expanded knowledge and open mindedness.

This however remained more of a fun hobby and creative outlet as he would struggle to fight his way into the industry.Later that year, Guy moved and whilst the struggle to find work as an actor continued, he did find some success in photography and working as a personal assistant, as well as varying crew roles on commercials and short films.
