Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by a long awaited guest and general acting legend, DOMHNALL GLEESON!
Business first - if Percy Pigs want to come through and sponsor the podcast we're all on board (you're welcome Percy for the free plug btw 🐽). More importantly though of course, this is a fabulous episode which covers so much of the acting science that it's one that aspiring actors (or indeed working ones) could do well to take some notes from. In a freeflowing and easy chat, so much is covered and expanded upon, with new ideas and perspectives coming left right and centre, which all makes for some really engaging listening. Domhnall is primarily around at this moment in time to check in about the thrilling new 'Echo Valley', which leads onto various subjects including character study, unconditional love, support and enabling and accents. So much other ground is covered besides, including older film roles and upcoming ones, Werner Herzog, Ireland on the whole, nepotism, directors and writers and one of Pip's unrequited beefs. Oh, Distraction Pieces takes it there. Trust. Enjoy!
