Personal life

Julian Peedle-Calloo was born in Oxfordshire, England, in 1977, and has been Deaf since birth. He regards himself as being part of a linguistic minority, rather than identifying his deafness as a disability; British Sign Language is his first language, and English (written and spoken) is his second language. He can hear a little with a hearing aid, but rarely uses one.[1] He graduated from the University of Wolverhampton with a 2:1 degree in electronic media in October 2000.

Career

Peedle-Calloo wrote and directed the 30-minute drama film Battle Lines (2014), about deaf people during the First World War, for online channel BSLZone.[2] His other short films include 5 Needles (2011) and Confession (2012).

He is a former presenter on deaf magazine programme See Hear.

As an actor, he has appeared in episodes of New Tricks[3] and Holby City in 2012 and 2015 respectively.

gollark: Still, I would expect that for non-time-critical stuff people wouldn't mind waiting for a few years if they could run their computing tasks on an entire moon comparatively cheaply.
gollark: I guess one might be network connectivity, since your moonbrain being several light-years from a stargate would make it not very useful for real-time stuff.
gollark: It seems like - since there's not any mention of the eldraeverse having moonbrains everywhere - there's some reason you can't just cheaply stick some self-replicating machinery on a planet and come back in a hundred years and... do moonbrain things.
gollark: Giant fractal things are a nice decoration for *any* planet, really.
gollark: Especially since the magic phased array thing will probably dump lots of heat for all the computing and... phased-arraying, I have no idea how an optical one would actually work internally.
