Guy Bass – Stitch Head

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAgTxg_Ct2E What was it like the first time you heard Stitch Head — this character you’d been writing for years in the novels — finally voiced to life by Asa Butterfield in this movie? Yeah, that was a bonkers experience. The process of the film had been going on for a long time and…

The Last Word

Sarah Drew & Peter Mooney – Mistletoe Murders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM9qQDfpPeE Season one ended on a sizable cliffhanger, as Sam pressed Emily about her dark past, and she closed down. Where do we find them this year? SARAH: I think what’s kind of fun about this season is that they never quite shake the reality that there is this deep attraction that they feel…

Bif Naked – Bif Naked

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYSXjfJDNQ What’s it like watching such a deeply personal film with audiences? I didn’t think I would like it. I don’t want people watching me watch my own film. It’s awkward enough. And what I discovered instead was . . . Getting older is funny. I find that I’m very sentimental, and I will…

Dan Aykroyd – The Unbelievable With Dan Aykroyd

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYuzO15CXDs In your role as the presenter here, do you feel you’re channelling a bit of your old SNL newsman persona – striking a strait-laced tone that’s simultaneously tongue-in-cheek? Oh yes, for sure. The use of the voice and the authoritativeness . . . but also in this show, I connect in that way…

Paul Walter Hauser – The Chosen Adventures

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-9rY8Koirw One of the surprising things about this show is its almost irreverent sense of humour. That’s not a quality we’ve come to expect from faith-based programming, which tends to be quite earnest. Would you say that irreverence opens up a new way to engage with an audience, and a novel way of tackling a…

Capt. Sandy Yawn – Below Deck Mediterranean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtW1bQKqUbQ Every captain in the Below Deck-verse is different. How would you describe your leadership style? My intention is to always be fair and listen to both sides. Also, I’m direct. I’m not a sugar-coater; I think people respect that part. I do have compassion, so it’s a little mix . . . but…

Tom Pelphrey – Task

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irkyXKTmY8M&t=1s As dark as life gets for Robbie, he’s also a remarkably upbeat character. Is that an interesting duality to play? I think Robbie’s very positive. In a sense, in and of himself, he’s a very light character. I just think he’s in very dark circumstances. Obviously with Robbie, he’s someone who’s coming from…

Matthew Lewis – Murder Before Evensong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk7gVbq7UX4 Was it interesting to play a priest, and try to find the humanity beneath a person who is, literally, holier than thou? Yeah, they’re kind of these figureheads . . . It’s like the actors of the Hollywood Golden Age, where you watch them and you feel like you know them. But once…

Sanjeev Bhaskar – Unforgotten on Masterpiece

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM0KU-2oslM Season four saw Sunny lose his partner, Cassie (Nicola Walker), who meant so much to him. Season five was about him grieving and also adjusting to a new partner, Jess (Sinéad Keenan). Are Sunny and Jess any closer in season six to becoming what Sunny and Cassie were? He certainly recognizes that she…

Morgana O’Reilly – Playing Gracie Darling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S9jbo_pY2Q As much as you have spooky supernatural elements in this show, is it safe to say you’re just using that as an entry point to explore how the traumas of our youth shape the adults we become? I reckon. I just turned 40 this year and there is a funny thing that happens…
