Georgie and Pierce lift the veil on their deepest and darkest fears in the acting profession. Often people don’t like to discuss their worries about the job for fear that it will make them less desirable to hire, but as in all professions, everyone has nerve-wracking areas that they find a challenge. Listen to Georgie and Pierce’s worries and their tips on how to battle a bugbear.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The more time you spend outside your comfort zone the better.
- Fear is inevitable, it’s how you deal with that fear that moves you forward.
- It is important to know the difference between something that is scaring you and something that is scaring you for the right reason.
- Fear of judgement can be a common fear in acting but for the most part, acting is fairly free of judgemental people.
- Some of the best scenes have been accomplished through mishaps and mistakes.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Personally, I find if I’m a bit nervous about whether I can do something it’s a sign for me that I should be doing it.’-Georgie
‘If it’s too scary, if it’s too much it’s ok to walk away from, there’s no shame in that, but recognise all the things you’re going to miss out on if you do.’-Georgie
‘My fears, in an acting sense, mostly revolve around fear of failure I’d say and, to be fair, I think this is the case for quite a lot of things outside of acting as well.’-Pierce
‘Acting is about making mistakes and it’s about getting a little bit messy and I always like to think of it as like a toddler at nursery and you’re slapping your hands in bits of paint and chucking it on a canvas.’-Georgie

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
