Bonus Episode: Hermione Norris - How I Got There

What this episode covers

In this bonus edition of How I Got There, Matt welcomes actor Hermione Norris into the studio. Before rising to fame on ‘Spooks’, ‘Wire In The Blood’ and, more recently, ‘Luther’, Hermione was poised to become a ballerina after winning a scholarship to Elmhurst School for Dance when she was just 11. It was there, in an afterschool drama club, that her path was changed forever, and she realised her passion for the stage. Hear Matt and Hermione discuss her time at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, life on the theatre circuit, her father’s untimely death and the breakout roll: Karen Marsden on ‘Cold Feet’.
