Invest in drama for young people. Drama in schools. It isn’t about making ‘stars’. It’s about widening horizons. Human empathy and understanding. A bigger world. It saved my life. It should be there for everyone.
First acting job. First time on any set. Youngest ever winner of a male acting Emmy. Owen Cooper, you are a star.

Ron Howard remembers the late #RobertRedford as an "artistic game-changer." "A tremendously influential figure for the creative choices made as an actor/producer/director and for launching Sundance, which supercharged America’s indie film movement." variety.com/2025/film/news/r…

There are certain people you know that you’re going to click with. After working with Robert Redford on Brubaker in 1980, we instantly became friends. Working with him again in An Unfinished Life was a dream come true. Rest peacefully, my friend.

The world's largest arts festival is on in Edinburgh yet where's the Scottish local TV coverage? When STV had the Local TV licences they made many programmes. In fact in 2016 I produced 25 one hour as live shows for Showbiz TV on Sky. youtu.be/MOHKjqmjjLc?si=sRff…

If you’ve visited an Alasdair Gray mural then you’ve most likely come across the sign writing skills of Robert Salmond, a trained sign painter who worked with Alasdair since the early 1980s. We’ve been recording him for a new educational resource on Gray’s murals, coming soon!
