Have recently watched you in Forever Green and am interested in the origins of your name. Please tell me about it. — Asked by Anonymous

Hi Anonymous,

Thanks for getting in touch. My name is Arabic – “Nimer” is in fact the Arabic for “tiger” – as my father is from Palestine (meanwhile my mother comes from Australia, which makes for an interesting combination…)

I’ve written about my dad’s journey to England to become an actor in a short story published by Penguin which you can download here if you’re interested. Thanks again for getting in touch!
