Episode description
This week Megan and Jordan are joined by the incredible Vissey Elliot Safavi, Iranian/Bristolian, MOTHER, colleague of Megan and incredible actor - Vis has been Acting Up longer than your hosts have been a thought.
Pushed towards drama as a child to help her learn English, Vis started acting so a lady called Edwina could live vicariously through her, and thankfully she did - as it lead Vis to attend the prestigious RADA (in the 90’s!).
Vis gets candid about how she’s navigated the industry as an Iranian woman (picking your equity name - nightmare!) and sustained a career that’s spanned decades, encompassed all the milestones of her life and has included some incredible work in theatre, TV & film and voice acting.
Side notes include little puffball Jordan, discombobulating a cat, school reports and Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
