This week on Drama School Dropout I am joined by the amazing, James Baxter. We chat about Waterloo Road, James being a home town hero, McDonalds, growing up in the North East, the pressures of growing up in a working class town but wanting to pursue the arts, my new play “Flatmates”, the joy of working with other actors, doing the twenty-four hour plays at the Bristol Old Vic and forgetting lines, I gush over Dame Judi Dench’s impromptu sonnet performance on the Graham Norton show again, Steve Carrell, auditioning for Waterloo Road, reboots, self tapes and in the room auditions, auditioning for Game of Thrones, naked auditions, the cardboard cut out of James that causes havoc on the Waterloo Road set, the time a Drama School Dropout recording session was interrupted by bailiffs, stealing, getting paid in gift cards, OnlyFans adverts and food.
