43. Tino Orsini - When I get on stage, I feel at home

Tino Orsini is an actor working across theatre and screen.

In this episode, he talks about playing Banksy in Ted Lasso, his early life, and how he got into acting. He also shares his time in Los Angeles, why he left, and what it was like coming back to London and continuing his career.

We get into the difference between theatre and screen, dealing with rejection, and why making your own work can make a real difference. He talks about his one-man show Ghosts of West Hollywood, which he wrote and is preparing to perform, along with the day-to-day reality of self-tapes and commercials.

We also touch on preparation, staying truthful in performances, and what success means to him as an actor.
