Brendan Cowell's turning points Take 5
-
- Music Interviews
There are only a handful of people I ask back to Take 5. Brendan Cowell is one of them. The actor, author, playwright, and poet is a master storyteller who lives a full life. And in the decade since we last met on air, he’s starred alongside Billie Piper in hit plays on Broadway and the West End, had a key role on Game of Thrones, written a book, and scored a major part in the two new Avatar sequels shooting in New Zealand.
It’s no surprise though, Brendan has an electricity about him. He draws you in as an audience member and fires off the inspirations in his daily life, no matter where in the world he finds himself. From growing up in Cronulla, to living in New York and London, this is a conversation about the moments that were turning points for him, from Pearl Jam to Drake to Bob Seger.
Pearl Jam – 'Animal'
Sharon Van Etten – 'Give Out'
Drake – 'God’s Plan'
Justin Townes Earle – 'Lone Pine Hill'
Bob Seger – 'Night Moves'
