Bridget Webster is by far one of the most talented and insightful upcoming writers I have ever had the pleasure of working with, without question. We had an absolute blast discussing her upcoming short film 'The Cutting Room' which stars, Julie Nihil and myself. And we took a deep dive into our personal creative processes and this thing known as 'Imposter Syndrome'.

Well, I'm back people, Big Wonder has weathered the covid storm and survived!!! My guest today is one of the most highly sort after stunt coordinators on the planet. Having worked on major blockbusters, "Mad Max Fury Road', 'Suicide Squad 1 and 2' and 'Ghost in the Shell'. But more than that he's a world-class martial artist, and fine Actor having recently played the lead in Johhny Balaz's 'Rage' and he's one of the most generous dudes you'll ever meet. This was really a special day for me as I first met Richard years ago on a one-day fight choreography course, and that one day has had an everlasting impression on me. It led me to take sword class and boxing and I'm eternally grateful for having this time to shoot the shit with a legend.

I can't think of too many better ways to spend a Sunday afternoon, than sitting down with Legend discussing life and acting over a glass of red. Christopher is an incredibly generous, funny and intelligent dude and it was a real treat to have him on the show. Originally from L.A., Christopher is a very accomplished actor, having worked on an extensive collection of productions including 'The Matrix trilogy', 'Star Wars', and 'Blood Vessel'.

SEASON THREE OF BIG WONDER IS HERE!!! And we are off to a bloody good start with the incredibly talented and humble Tegan Crowley. I have the extreme pleasure of currently working with Tegan on the short film 'The kids on Murphey Street' and in between blocks Tegan found the time to step in for a chat. Tegan like myself is also a Photographer and a writer, but that's not all, Tegan is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut album that she and her brother have written, 'Born of a Dying Star' and their band is called 'The Urban Crowley Collective'.  So sit back and enjoy listening to another of Melbourne's excessively talented artists!!!

I can't thank my guest today enough for taking the time to chat with me today. I constantly reminded of how lucky I am to get to chat with talented people. Nick Farnell is an actor, producer, director and writer based here and in LA. Nick actually worked on one of my favourite Australian movies 'Balibo' which was great to dive into as my mother has lived in East Timor for the last 20 years. It's a story that every Australian should know. Nick is the scripted Producer for Set Apart Pictures. They have worked on such features as 'Robert The Bruce', 'Sail Boat' with J.K. Simmonds and 'Broken Ghost'. And Set Apart is also the team behind the web series that I had the please of being apart of, 'Perfect Chaos, which has just released the second season and it's not to be missed. Massive things on the horizon for this absolute legend and gentleman.

Talk about transparency. My hat goes off to this man for being so open in our conversation, it's tricky for most, even actors so I'm incredibly grateful for my time chatting with Rowan. We get into Rowan's journey as an actor but also as a man from his generation and how he's evolved to be a better father and a better husband, which ultimately makes him a better actor.  Rowan dives into his latest film 'True Blue' which centres around an Aussie farming family dealing with drought and financial hardships and the depression that follows. A very real and current problem in Australia. 'True Blue' is currently doing the film festival circuit and is an official selection for the 'Screen It' International Film Festival.

So thrilled to have my dear friend and fellow actor and musician, Evan Williams on the show. We both started acting at a similar time and met on the set of 'Broken Contract' and independent feature film shot back in 2013 in Perth. Now 7 years later we have formed one of my most cherished friendships and have had the pleasure of working on three films together. Evan has had an incredibly bumpy journey till now, filled with doubt and heartbreak and has now come out the other side with a real clear line of sight to what he wants as an artist.  This conversation brought me a lot of joy as I haven't spoken with Evan in a while, and I'm so excited about what he's been working on and what he has coming up. Evan recently worked on the feature film 'The Furnace' with David Wenham and 'Slippery Business'. Which we dive into and also how he juggles his extreme love of being a professional musician and being an actor.
