Episode description

Ever wanted to know how to convincingly walk backwards for your role in a Christopher Nolan blockbuster? Of course you have.

Then look no further than our conversation with Tenet, Yesterday and Don't Look Up actor Himesh Patel for that incredibly niche advice and so much more wisdom from a career which started as a teenager in EastEnders.

We discuss his journey from soaps to Hollywood, his hopes that more actors can follow the same route and how it feels to practice being hit by a bus.
