Derek's ambition was always to be a TV spokesman, but never imagined that one day he would voice a Harry Potter spokesgoblin for Universal Studios... nor be the Evil Empire's chief bad guy on Star Wars: Rebels!!

He attended university in Paris and Barcelona and hosts on-camera from TelePrompTer in French, Italian, German and Castilian Spanish.

To fulfill his lifelong ambition to be a TV host/presenter, Derek had to wait till 1976 when he was invited to coach international trap and skeet shooters in South Africa and Rhodesia, where he also trained SWAT Teams. There, he met Mike Hart-Jones, head of Rhodesian TV, who hired Derek. Within a year, Derek's live magazine program, 'Frankly Partridge', became Rhodesia's most popular show. Mike wrote to the Board of Directors that Derek's fan mail, from viewers of all races and ages, was unprecedented in his ten years at RTV. Derek filled a variety of roles at RTV, including head news anchor, quiz master of 'The Kwhizz Kids' and presenter of 'Message to the Nation' specials.
