Casual conversations with longtime professional writers, actors, and directors about their craft, industry, and body of work. As a lifelong artist from NYC who has worked in theatre, film, and literature since the late 80s, I really enjoy highlighting others in my wheelhouse. I grew up acting on stage, then moved into screenwriting, directing, editing, and production photography before refocusing on my writing and worldbuilding, so I deeply value these fields and love speaking to other creators and performers about their insights and imagination. Beautiful cover art illustrated by Umangi.

Siôn Alun Davies on minority languages, the psyche of bad guys, and the collaborative nature of filmmaking

Siôn Alun Davies is a talented Welsh/English bilingual actor from Cardiff, best known internationally as the likeable Detective Owen Vaughan from the crime noir series Craith/Hidden. Most recently, he joined the cast of prison drama Bariau/Inside for season 2 as the antagonistic new senior corrections officer Simon Firth, and played Jamie in the intense murder mystery series Cleddau/The One That Got Away. He was also wonderfully creepy in the folk horror film Gwledd/The Feast and has appeared in many other productions, including Steeltown Murders, Hinterland, Sandman, and Brittania. It was a real pleasure speaking with him today about his Welsh language background, his training and craft, entering the mental space of his characters, and what he enjoys most about his work.
