Hanna and I have done various improv gigs together and it has always been inspiring to work with her. Hanna’s episode can also be found on YouTube channel: With Miska Podcast Episodes. https://youtu.be/X7Zj6qfZ63U In this discussion we talk about how Hanna got into professional acting, which was when she won the Finnish TV show Haluatko filmitähdeksi? (Do You Want to Be a Moviestar?) The show put her on the map in the whole country and she became a star. At some point she stepped out from TV for some years, but she still kept acting and working in her wide field of communications. A couple of years ago she came back to the daily series Salatut elämät (Secret Lives), in which she plays a colorful character Salla. In our talk Hanna shares her process how she plays Salla, and how it is filming a daily TV series. In addition to her acting and radio work, she is currently performing in Hanna as Adele – A Night to Remember Show & Dinner at Casino Helsinki.
