Sidney Sloane is a UK radio and television actor/presenter. Born Gary Gibson, he grew-up on the Wimbledon and Wandsworth borders of South London. He attended Southmead Primary School and John Griffiths R.C. Secondary School. He took the stage name Sidney Sloane when he changed career from stockbroking to study acting in 1997 at the Academy of Creative Training in Brighton, England. A successful audition landed him a main role in the Belgrade Theatre Company's production of The Twits which took on a No.1 theatre tour of the UK. After an invitation to meet with some BBC exec's and a screen-test for the possible role as a presenter, a formal job offer was made. Sloane helped to launch CBeebies, the British children's television channel. He was the channel's only remaining original presenter when he left the presentation team on 12 April 2013. He had previously been a weekends presenter on BBC Southern Counties Radio. His experiences since working for the BBC now also include many voice-over and radio dramas. On 14 November 2012, Sloane appeared in a brand-new televised production entitled Let's Play which aired on CBeebies.
