Talking in the Dark

Sunday, 21 April 2024 - 50 minutes

This week’s guest is an incredibly talented and much-loved actor and presenter who has been a firm feature on our TV sets and in our cinemas for over a decade. This week on Talking in the Dark Evie sits down and talks with actor, presenter, and disability advocate Adam Pearson. In this lively and fun conversation Evie chats with Adam about a wide variety of topics including; his early life as a teenager negotiating school with a physical difference, the importance of creating an honest representation of disability on screen, and the many challenges caused through type casting. Adam also shares his love of Lego and tells what can only be described as one of the most iconic audition stories in movie making history! This was a wonderful conversation with a truly phenomenal guest and we thank Adam greatly for his time, energy and humour.
