During this time, Dominic trained in screen, voice-over and motion-capture and radio (even having a line in the BBC Radio Dram Fault Lines: Blood).

He also discovered a passion for writing and performing comedy; he has written stand-up, sketches and even a comedy play titled Incompetent Shakespeare, which is still his proudest moment as a performer and creator.
