Ladies n' Genminminmin (er, min...) delighted to welcome the charismatic & enigmatic fire-ball of energy, Scottish Actor Tony Curran, to The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'. Tony was 'Passed the Golden Baton' to be in the Show by fellow Scottish Actor and previous Guest, Cal MacAnininch.

Tony won the Scottish BAFTA as Best Actor for his 'devastating' performance (The Guardian) as Tully in the emotionally raw, funny & life-affirming TV Drama that sensitively and powerfully tackles the issue of assisted dying, "Mayflies".

Tony has many TV & Film 'Bangers' under his belt: Ray Donovan; This Life; Sons of Anarchy; Boardwalk Empire; 24; The Outlaw King & Your Honour to name but some.

Tony Curran is a Scottish expat and life-long Celtic Fan & Ambassador now living in Hollywood, here talking about his life, career and his influences: The  impact of his parents, his passion for theatre and cinema, and the adventures & experiences that have carved his personality. 

Ever heard of using ADHD to your advantage? Tony has. He shares a hilarious tale about his aunt, highlighting the power of humor in everyday life, and his innovative use of LSD to prepare for a role. There's much to learn from his experience with the power of stillness in acting and the wisdom of harnessing one's unique traits.

We talk at length about "Mayflies" too, the chemistry between its co-stars and Tony's pride in the show. We also talk about the seismic effects, importance & reach of the current Writers Guild of America strike and the profound impact of AI on the entertainment industry generally. 

We also talk about Tony's approach to finding joy in his craft, through the power of vulnerability & stillness. 

Tony Curran is a true maestro of acting and this is a wonderful, heart-warming episode indeed. Enjoy!
