    The Mighty Dragon podcast with Adrian Schiller (Æthelhelm)

    The Mighty Dragon podcast with Adrian Schiller (Æthelhelm)

    I am delighted to announce that actor Adrian Schiller joined me on the podcast to discuss his time on the hugely phenomenal The Last Kingdom series.

    Followers of The Mighty Dragon Instagram account know that I have recently binge-watched the entire five series. So I am completely over the moon that my favourite bad guy from the series, Æthelhelm, is part of this interview collection.

    Adrian discusses Æthelhelm, his favourite parts of his character, his motivations, and how the character immersed itself into The Last Kingdom. But were Athelhelm’s motivations misjudged?

    Doting grandfather or evil mastermind? We discuss this and more, on The Mighty Dragon.

    Podcast with Maria Austin #Mercy

    Maria Austin

    British actress Maria Austin is currently starring as the title character, Mercy, in the film of the same name on Apple TV. I am absolutely delighted that she is part of the interview collection here on The Mighty Dragon.

    The life of a factory farmed pig. Mercy’s tragic journey, as she leaves behind her own family and encounters those whose job it is to end her life.

    If you haven’t seen it, then prepare yourself for a dynamic, unforgettable performance from this talented actress. Alongside Maria in Mercy is Mark Wingett, Quadrophenia legend, who plays the slaughterman. Maria tells me what it was like working with Mark on this chilling story.

    Behind the scenes of Napoleon with Youssef Kerkour #Napoleon

    Behind the scenes of Napoleon with Youssef Kerkour #Napoleon

    Youssef Kerkour

    Ridley Scott’s Napoleon returns to The Mighty Dragon with another great interview.

    This week, I am speaking to Napoleon’s right-hand man, Marshal Davout. Or should I say Youssef Kerkour who portrayed this infamous soldier otherwise known as The Iron Marshal. Davout himself was a highly acclaimed general, being present at most of Napoleon’s battles. Devoted, driven and resilient, I can’t help but think Youssef was the right actor to portray him, as he has these qualities himself.

    Napoleon isn’t the first time Youssef has worked with legendary director, Ridley Scott. He was also in House of Gucci, portraying Nemir Kirdar. We talk about Ridley Scott’s style of working, as well as Youssef’s preparation for his roles.

    I am convinced that Youssef is the most prepared actor on set, cleverly adopting psychological practices to immerse himself in the role. His British and Moroccan heritage has given him access to many great parts, but we talk about how he “niched down” on his Arab heritage to gain even more exposure.

    Podcast with Jimmy Dunn #Frasier

    Podcast with Jimmy Dunn #Frasier

    Jimmy Dunn

    Frasier is taking over The Mighty Dragon once again.

    Today’s guest is actor and stand-up comedian, Jimmy Dunn. Jimmy plays Moose in Frasier, the firefighter who captured Olivia’s heart in the Christmas special.

    Jimmy gives a great behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of Frasier. The supreme writing, the professionalism on set and what its like working with Frasier himself, Kelsey Grammar.

    Jimmy didn’t have to go far for the inspiration for Moose, he brings so much of himself to every role. With firefighters in his family, they must be very proud that he portrays these heroes on a set based in Boston.

    I have a lot of respect for comedians, they have the hardest job in the world to make people laugh. It was a pleasure to find that Jimmy is very much like Moose himself.

    A proud Bostonian, we talk about his stand-up inspirations and what impact they had on American stand-up. We touch upon stand-up internationally too, with hopes of Jimmy taking his comedy overseas.

    With a plot twist in the Christmas episode, we hope to see more Moose in season two!

    Podcast with John Bucy #Frasier

    John Bucy

    Another great Frasier interview lands on The Mighty Dragon!

    Today’s guest is actor John Bucy. John plays Roger in Frasier, and like Frasier he is a Boston native. But home is in Los Angeles where he is focussing on building his acting career. It was a great time to catch up with John as he navigates his way in the new Hollywood.

    John shares how he got into acting, how he has approaches portraying his characters, some nuggets from behind the scenes of Frasier and also some sage acting advice for anyone joining the industry.

    Life is busy for John, with many projects taking off after the writers/actors strike, I have a feeling that 2024 is going to be a roaring success for this dedicated actor.
