Original writeup below:

–––––––––––––––––––––––––

“…The artform is being preserved by people who are living on the fringes…”

Even the post-Friday night spirits of London Town can’t keep Ron down, as he joins Pip outside on a Saturday morning for a wonderful talk on all things film, be it behind the scenes, the acting process or the studio side. Ron has gems galore to offer from a very experienced vantage point in the acting game, having been doing just about the most solid job in the profession since his days in school, and you’ll hear it all in very down to earth and real (occasionally wry and sly) style, from his family’s drumming history, his lucky break auditioning at a young age, being scared away from the stage by the film process, glorious analogies, the lack of ‘foreplay’ in modern viewing, the marvel of modern day TV in every aspect, how ‘The Shield’ gave permission for so much in current TV, Sons Of Anarchy and the finding of is audience as well as navigating tricky relationship terrain in and around it, the perils of one-upmanship on set, the family ties of being in a series so long, the wonder of working with Guillermo Del Toro and how Toro fought his corner for 7 years in getting him the part of Hellboy, egoless collaboration, and - most importantly - was Ron responsible for bringing Bros back together? FIND OUT! A true pleasure. Enjoy this one folks.
