Latest Episode
During this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival we sat down with veteran Scottish actor John Hannah to discuss his uninhibited performance in the wild first-person POV action-comedy Bad Day at the Office.
In the film, Hannah plays the mysterious Karl Davis, a man who wakes up in a London hotel with a dead man in his bathtub. Karl has no memory of who he is or how he got there, and he has little time to work it out as men are coming to the hotel to kill him. What ensues is an absolutely relentless action flick that's full of wild fight scenes and daft humour.
We sat down with Hannah on the morning after Bad Day at the Office’s world premiere at Edinburgh Film Festival to have a chat about how he got into acting in the first place. We also talk through some of the highlights of Hannah's career and his go-for-broke performance in this absolutely bonkers action film. Take a listen.
Bad Day at the Office is scheduled for theatrical release in UK on 30 October from Signature Entertainment.
