#12 Amanda Abbington: Actor

Welcome to episode #12 of The Filmmaker's Playbook, hosted by writer-director Jason Branagan.

On today’s show I talk to actor, Amanda Abbington. Amanda’s credits include BBC’s 'Sherlock', the Netflix Number 1 series 'Desperate Measures', Harlan Coben’s smash hit original series, 'SAFE', 'Mr. Selfridge', 'Wolfe' and more.

In our conversation Amanda shares her advice for young actors and we discuss the importance of discipline and how to keep your acting muscle in shape when you’re not working, why you need to know your lines back to front, being a conduit for your character and letting the text do the work, learning every day, and being truthful in performance.

The purpose of this podcast is to give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the filmmaking process and to make information about filmmaking accessible to everyone at zero-cost, so whether you're a casual film fan, an aspiring filmmaker, or a seasoned pro, I hope you enjoy today's episode and learn something interesting in the process.
