E301 - 30 Years of Acting to Directing Waterloo Road with Angela Griffin
This is episode 1 of the BRAND NEW third season of The Directors Take Podcast.
In this week’s special episode your hosts Marcus Anthony Thomas and Oz Arshad are joined in conversation by UK TV legend Angela Griffin, who discusses her transition from distinguished actor with over 500 hours of broadcast TV under her belt into the Directors chair on Season 16 of Waterloo Road.

This conversation covers the following:
-What is Directing?
-The directing pathway and how Angela herself made that transition.
-What did she learn from working with so many different directors across her career so far.
-What was the most surprising part about stepping into the directors chair?
-How does she create an ‘actor friendly’ environment and does she have a philosophy on blocking actors?
-What is Angela’s take on tone and how to sustain it as a director?
-How do you balance family life alongside being a working actor & director?
