Biography
Freelance writer and subtitler boasting years of experience in both fields. Former lead writer for Inside The Ropes, managing the online content and writing for the monthly print magazine which is distributed via WHSmith in the UK and Barnes & Noble in the US. Previous credits also include BBC, Nutmeg Magazine, The Anfield Wrap, Rush The Kop, SPORF, Sportskeeda, WhatCulture, Dead Press, Daily Record and Paisley Gazette among others. Over the years, I've maintained great relationships with WWE, AEW, IMPACT and ROH among other companies which, along with setting up interviews with talents directly, has saw me sit down with the likes of Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley and more. Outside of wrestling, I've also interviewed Tyson Fury, Frank Turner, Black Veil Brides, Bowling For Soup, and Avatar. Not only have I maintained professional relationships with companies, I’ve also established sources within those organisations and broken news regarding signings, contracts, album releases, and even the location of WrestleMania - with my exclusive stories being sourced by CNN, NBC, FOX, Forbes, TalkSPORT and many others. I've also featured on the WWE Network several times, with my work being shared by WWE, AEW & IMPACT via their official social channels. Outside of journalism, I’ve also been operating as a full-time subtitler for over five years - originating both prerecorded and live output. In this role, I've had experience of working under pressure and to strict deadlines for clients such as BBC, Sky, Channel 4, Channel 5, BT Sport, Netflix and UKTV. From both of these careers, I've established one of my main skills as proofreading/editing copy to the highest standard, perfecting grammar and establishing consistency across lengthy articles and publications. I also work on transcription, which was a symbiotic skill resulting from both of my careers, and can turn around full interviews very quickly.

By Gary Cassidy Verified| WhatCulture Verified To go and watch the tenth instalment of a movie series, you'd need to be a pretty big fan, right?!Well, presuming you've sat through all the good and bad Saw has to offer, you'd be expecting to at least be rewarded for dedicating over 16 hours of your life to the franchise - and that's presuming you've only watched each instalment once!Well, thankfully, Saw X was almost seemingly designed as a loyalty card of sorts.
By Gary Cassidy Verified| WhatCulture Verified How important is a band's name? "It sound like a first band name, doesn’t it? It’s so bad that the tribute bands don’t sound worse."That quote is from the vocalist of a band who, let's say, aren't doing too badly - Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, speaking with Q Magazine back in 2011.
By Gary Cassidy Verified| WhatCulture Verified Musicians trying their hand at acting is nothing new, with the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elvis paving the way while Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake have overtaken our screens in recent years. Just by the nature of the industry, it's not always in starring roles either. Pop stars love a cameo, whether it's Tom Jones in Mars Attacks!, Phil Collins in Hook or, ahem, Rihanna in Battleship.
