We're joined by an Australian actor, translator, acting teacher, and national treasure, Francis Greenslade. You may recognise Francis from shows including Jack Irish, The Leftovers, Winners & Losers, and frequent collaborations with Shaun MIcallef on the much beloved Mad As Hell and The Micallef Program.
We talk about why it took Francis so long to call himself an actor, falling into comedic acting, playing the idiot, the all consuming identity as an actor, giving up on being rich, sacrifice, the love of working in Australian productions, playing a gentle & happy character on Winners & Losers, politics, Australia's definition of the leading man, the constant battle of contract to contract work, meeting Shaun Micallef, and of course we talk about Mad As Hell.
We loved having the energy that Francis delivered for this podcast.
