“It’s Super Interesting When You Are Given an Opportunity as an Actor To Rummage Around in Parts of You That Can Still Surprise You”: Tom Bateman, Back To One, Episode 366
Tom Bateman has delivered wonderful performances in Thirteen Lives, Death on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express, and Peacock’s dark comedic thriller series Based on a True Story, alongside Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina, to name a few. For his latest, Hedda, he got to work opposite Tessa Thompson and Nina Hoss. On this episode, he explains what made that production special, starting with the 2 weeks of rehearsal that director Nia DeCosta insisted on. He takes us through his beginnings in the theater, how Shakespeare is the gift that keeps on giving, gives examples of direction that ignited discoveries, hard lessons learned in younger days, the curious phenomena of finding similarities in his characters the further he gets away from himself, and much more!
