James Nesbitt the Plot Twists, Pinch-Me Moments and Perks of Parenting.

Jimmy Nesbitt is one of the guests we've always wanted to get on the podcast. He doesn't do many interviews, so we're thrilled he chose to sit down with us and look back at his extraordinary career. From his very first performance (aged 5) he recognised the buzz he got from performing, and having started as a comic actor his portrayals of The Throubles in Bloody Sunday showed the world what a versatile performer he is. Since then he's taken roles which (in his own words) mean he's lost about four children and as a cop about ten partners - and he's now starring in one of the world's most-watched shows; Harlen Coben's Run Away on Netflix. James spoke to us from his home in Belfast after an extremely busy start to the year and reminisced about his Dad and everything he taught him (literally - his Dad was his primary school teacher), the people in his life who've changed the narrative - like Director Paul Greengrass who cast James in Bloody Sunday. It's a fabulous chat, so we hope you can find somewhere to enjoy it. As ever - thanks for listening, and cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
