We are honoured to share one of the most transformative conversations we’ve had in recent memory with one of the world's most in-demand acting coaches, Gerry Grennell. 

If you’ve watched the ‘I Am Heath Ledger’ documentary, you would be familiar with Gerry’s name, and learned about the extraordinary collaboration between Gerry and Heath on some of Heath's most iconic roles, including his Oscar-winning portrayal as the Joker in Christopher Nolan's ‘The Dark Knight’. 

Gerry Grennell has quietly become one of the most in-demand acting coaches in the world, and his client list reads like a who's who of Hollywood royalty: Heath Ledger, Meryl Streep, Marlon Brando, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman, Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, Bruce Willis, Oscar Isaac, Joel Edgerton, Sean Penn, Anne Hathaway, and many more. 

With a background in Alexander Technique and voice, Gerry trained at the prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama in London, and went on to co-found the Bow Street Academy in Dublin, Ireland. 

What was initially meant to be a 90-minute interview turned into a 2.5hr journey of philosophies and profound insights, particularly on the subject of ownership and authorship for actors. This interview is so full of ‘aha’ moments, and we hope it resonates with our listeners as much as it has for us.
