Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff David Tennant and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch) joins us this week to share his perspective on managing stress and anxiety with difficult roles as an actor, all the while embracing your inner child to maintain a sense of joy in your work. David talks about the surreal nature of getting to play Doctor Who after growing up watching the character; while noting the wild coincidences how the Doctor has crept into his personal life. We also talk about how he taps into character for darker performances, the skin-crawling experience of working with difficult personalities, and the freedom that comes with being seen’ in your relationship.
