  • The Late Bloomer Actor In Hollywood
    Jan 8 2024

    My final 'off script' Off Script Episode, from my 3 week holiday in the USA. Straight from the mecca for actors, Hollywood. Right outside my hotel on the Hollywood Boulevard. 

    A quick chat about commitment to acting. As I committed to bringing you all an episode each week whilst on holiday, it is pertinent to know why you should stick with your commitments to acting.

    Next week, back to the routine (for want of a better descriptor).

    And be sure to check out the next episode of The Late Bloomer Actor podcast itself on the 15th January.

    Jan 1 2024

    Happy New Year everyone. Welcome to 2024.

    A very quick episode for you today, coming out of Roswell New Mexico as I continue my family holiday across the USA.

    Under the eyes of aliens and downed spacecraft, I quickly chat about storytelling, and the endless opportunities locations like Roswell continually give to actors, through the richness of storytelling.

    I hope you are enjoying the holidays, and are ready for 2024. I feel it is going to be a big year for actors.

    Dec 25 2023

    Stepping into the holiday-lit streets of New York City, the air buzzing with the kind of magic only the Big Apple can conjure, I found myself awash with the spirit of Christmas and dreams larger than the Empire State. As the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree illuminated the night, guiding my family's festive pilgrimage through this urban wonderland, I captured these moments to share with you—dancing across Broadway, scaling the heights of the iconic skyscraper, and reliving movie history at the Ghostbusters firehouse.

    This episode is my heartfelt holiday card to you, filled with the enchantment of the city that pulses with aspirations. From the astounding 'Back to the Future' musical—where dreams materialize on stage—to the panoramic embrace of the Empire State Building's peak, and the legendary Ghostbusters' abode, join me in a celebration of passion for acting, podcasting, and the pursuit of dreams. Let the rhythm of New York City's streets, the echo of sirens, and the whispers of yuletide joy envelop you in this special Christmas Day release, as we remember together that amidst the sparkle of the season, our dreams are always within reach.

  • A Catchup with Eva Grzelak
    Dec 4 2023

    For Episode 2 of the Off Script series, I've returned to my very first guest from the flagship show, Eva Grzelak. 

    We chat about her side hustle in Malaysia, putting together one of the best Halloween experiences around, as well as sticking to your guns, getting your acting gear into motion.

    We also quickly summarise our understanding (albeit a little) of the state of play in relation to the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike in the US.

    And listen to the end for some truly 'off script' moment, where I include the recording of each of us when the internet glitched, we couldn't see or hear each other, but the end recording still worked.
