Episode #107 with Simon Burke

Dan is joined by a veteran, indeed, a legend in the industry, Simon Burke! Simon has been working as an actor for 50 years! It was an absolute privilege having the opportunity to sit down for this chat. We talk about Simon's dresser Lorraine, the audience responses for Wicked, taking on the role of the Wizard, finding a profession in acting early, learning on the job, seeing acting as a trade, the best things about getting older, objectively seeing what your function is in a play, moving to London, pushing outside your comfort zone, testing yourself, dealing with the No's, Simon's approach to dancing in a show, getting Play School over Anthony Warlow, ambition, the unexpectedly lean period in Simon's career, the sadness when a show ends, the ease of being kind and generous, and a whole lot more! A truly WONDERFUL conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
