Watch here: youtu.be/kPPXeOgE5YI?is=pYyi…
I'm excited to launch a brand new behind the scenes series on our YouTube channel today, taking you into the parts of the TV & film industry most actors never get to see.
In this very first episode, I sit down with Oscar-winning director Chris Overton, who reveals the BAFTA-winning casting director attached to his new £1.4 million British feature film...
...and then Chris shares his own personal email address, inviting actors to send their Spotlight link and showreel directly to him for consideration.
I'd love to know what you think of the new series - and where you'd like me to take you behind the scenes next.
Enjoy! 🎬
