Description

This week I am pleased to bring you a chat with our second industry guest - the incredibly ambitious and inspiring, Sam Benjamin! Sam is an actor, screenwriter and director known for his roles in Doctor Who, BBC's The War of the Worlds and I Am Vengeance: Retaliation now on Netflix. He's originally from the land of the Beatles in Merseyside, though he describes himself as more of a Prince guy! He's just wrapped on the feature film The Pay Day starring Kyla Frye and Simon Callow, which he co-wrote. He's currently in Los Angeles where he is pitching a number of projects and meeting for some exciting acting roles.

We chatted all about making the transition "across the pond", the attitude that has propelled him this far, as well as his vision for a stable and successful transatlantic career. Plus, hear his answer to Olivia D'Lima's guest request for an anecdote of one of his worst commercial auditions to date - I have no doubt it will make yours seem like it was a dream casting...

From gracing the screens of 3-million UK households a week in her biggest acting role to date, to “not having a bloody clue what’s coming next!” Actress, Screenwriter, and Actor's Coach, Adele James, shares an honest and unscripted, journal-like record of her journey toward becoming - and remaining - a “working” Actor. Speaking from a level of success that would be best described as “aspirational, but very much attainable”, adventure with Adele and her journal as she continues to pave her way - letting you in on all the thoughts, fears, plot twists and lessons that you won’t get (nor might you ever suspect...) looking at most people’s social media feeds. In The Room with Adele James (formerly Making My Way), is an in-real-time memoir of surviving and succeeding as an actor day-to-day in the ever-increasingly competitive (especially for a brown woman), entertainment industry. In equal parts an entertaining and inspiring listen for the actor and non-actor, alike. In The Room with Adele James is proudly sponsored by London Nootropics.
