Lachlan Buchanan - WELLMAINIA - Actor

This chat I am joined by Australian Actor ‘Lachlan Buchanan’ who is currently staring in the smash hit series ‘Wellmainia’ now on ‘Netflix Australia.’ ‘Lachie’ takes on the role of actress comedian ‘Celeste Barber’s’ brother in ‘Wellmainia’ and while the show has been out for a few weeks - I thought it would be great to talk with him about his break-through role. ‘Wellmania’ is an ‘Australian’ comedy drama streaming television series co-created by ‘Brigid Delaney’ and ‘Benjamin Law’ for Netflix. Based on ‘Delaney’s’ memoir-reportage hybrid, ‘Wellmania: Misadventures in the Search for Wellness,’ it follows’ Liv Healy (Celeste Barber), a 39-year-old woman who struggles with a "major health crisis" as she tries various methods to reclaim her well-being. I will ask ‘Lachie’ about his life in ‘Los Angeles’ and how he has survived for 14 years trying to crack the biz!  ‘Lachie’ will explain if the show was scripted or if they improvised a lot of the comedy. We will talk a bit about gay culture in television and film and why he thinks this show offers an alternative to some of the stereotypes we have seen over the years Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ’Wellmainia’ which you can now view on ‘Netflix.’See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
