AMAR CHADHA-PATEL • the sacred arts of world building and world burning (Willow / The Creator / The Decameron) #672

About this episode

Scroobius Pip interviews actor Amar Chadha-Patel about his career, the arts, and insights into the industry.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! This week Pip is joined by the fabulous acting talent that is AMAR CHADHA-PATEL ! Bar after bar on this one, folks. You'll really enjoy it and that goes for everyone including those not necessarily focused on the world of the moving picture. Amar's been steadily building steam on his career path and as you'll hear here, is gradually owning the fact that he's really incredibly good at what he does. Which is NOT the opposite of humility. It's a sign of acknowledging growth, skill and accomplishment, and is refreshing to hear. But on top of that, there's so much in this chat including behind the scenes nuggets, how he approaches a one man theatre show, advice, mistakes, history, the Persian Empire (can have ONE WEEK where that doesn't come up??), and so much more. It's a lovely one which is hugely entertaining and informative, and packs in a lot in the run time. Enjoy!
