Dream Roles

Laura Checkley takes on her childhood hero Jim Carey and does an astonishing Ace Ventura Pet Detective. We talk about Laura's love for physical comedy, big characters, her time on King Gary, and Screws, and a terrible filming experience in Mexico involving mincemeat.Episode edited by Emily Owens, cover pic by Stewart Bywater.Contact us at dreamroles22@gmail.com

Foundation's Dino Fetscher WOWs us with his ability to play every single role in our favourite scene from Hocus Pocus. He knows it off by heart! We talk about the joy of hearing 'you got the part', sharing your wins with other actors, and how his physicality plays a big part in his preparation for a role.Cover pic by Stewart Bywater, episode edited by Emily Owens.

Banana's Nikki Fagbemi blows us away with her monologue from The Colour Purple, a film that inspired her to act. She tells us about her journey in the industry, the big highs of getting her dream job and the lows of messing up a big screen test. Nikki talks to us about taking the next step in her career and how we're distracting her from writing to a deadline for her new Sky series.This episode was edited by Emily Owens and our cover pic is by Stewart Bywater.

Ghosts' Kiell Smith-Bynoe talks to us from the set of 'Dreamland', his new TV series, where he is having to do a lot more crying than he's ever done before. We picked his Dream Role for him based on his requirements 'a villain on a horse'... so Gaston from Beauty and the Beast was the logical choice. We opened a bucket of shame when we pushed him about his worst ever job and frankly we think he was doing the washing up throughout the ep, so apologies if you can hear that!Get in touch and let us know what you think on dreamroles22@gmail.com.This ep was edited by Emily Owens.

Comedy actor Kerry Howard does a creepily good Forrest Gump for us. We talk to Kerry about being in a play for the first time (at The National, darling! which she was doing at the time we recorded this) and getting laid on a matinee day! We talk about Him and Her, Give Out Girls, how your body image and weight can play a part in our careers, crap money, and ambitions for the future.Get in touch via email - dreamroles22@gmail.com, we love to hear from you!This episode was edited by Emily Owens, and our cover pic was taken by Stewart Bywater.

After Life's Colin Hoult takes us back to Tim Burton's 'The Batman' as we read one of the scenes cut from the movie, which we literally cannot get through without laughing. Colin tells us about his Perrier nominated Edinburgh show, his exploits in 'Being Human', and working with Dom nearly 15 years ago. He also manages to make Batman sound like he works in Snappy Snaps.This show was edited by Emily Owens, our cover photo was taken by Stewart Bywater.Get in touch at dreamroles22@gmail.com and tell us who you want to hear on the show!
