Buck began his career working for a telecommunications company before joining Disney On Ice in 1996.
A keen skater from the age of seven, Buck has toured all over the world in a variety of productions since joining Disney On Ice.
``Travelling is definitely the best thing about performing in Disney On Ice,'' Buck said.
``I've had the chance to travel all over the world and meet people from all corners of the globe.
``The current production I star in features skaters from 11 different countries, including Russia, Australia and America.'' Buck will star in an elaborate production of Beauty and The Beast featuring colourful sets, lavish costumes, soaring musical numbers, and champion skaters.
