Role Reversal with David John Clark

Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.

We have a true 'role reversal' in this episode with my very good friend, fellow actor and my first EVER guest on the show, Eva Grzelak playing host and turning the interview onto me.

We discuss my journey to becoming a 'late bloomer actor', starting at kindergarten  in Adelaide and heading west on a trip around Australia, that ended 14 years later.

We delve into my early years as an 'extra' in Sydney in the mid to late 1990's, including an exciting appearance alongside Natalie Portman in Star Wars 'Attack Of The Clones'.

And the big moment when I decided that I wanted to be an actor, not just an extra.

And we end the episode with some nuts and bolts discussion on auditions, and how whether one gets a role or not can come down to the smallest of issues/reasons. And also, how to look at all the positives that come from getting called in for an audition. 

We also touch on 'typecasting', is it good or bad, wanted or not.

Thank you very much Eva for jumping onboard and playing host for this role reversal episode. Love ya work.
