"Imagine you're actually doing the thing."

 

 And I got the job!

 It's okay to post old auditions from 2023, right? And it's okay if you want a quick clip for your new showreel to just film the television with your phone, it's fine, yeah? Great. Here it is then. 

 The title of this post comes from director Katrin Gebbe's excellent advice to me on the set of A Thousand Blows as horses, carriages and stallholders reset for the seventh or eighth take of me finally getting to run out of a pretend hotel for real – obviously, you don't forget something like that. Look out too for some lovely fortuitous swipes, my favourite having to be Kellie Bright condemned to skeletoning at 2:10.

 

 

They Cut My Love Scene But Apart From That

 No lie! I think it was Margaret Cabourn-Smith who recommended me to the creator of Trying, so thanks Margaret, here's a picture of the fun I had on it. It debuts this month on Apple TV, which is like normal TV except better funded and a website. According to the Hollywood Reporter "the show is disarmingly original in concept, its eight-episode first season committed to the grueling true-to-life intricacies of these proceedings, from applications and home evaluations to training classes and interview panels." As you can see. I'm in episode 5.
