🎙️024 | Anna Brindle: Young, Talented, and Aiming for the Spotlight
In this episode, Todd & Jay talk with the brilliant and fast-rising Anna Brindle, a London-based actor and proud alum of ArtsEd — one of the UK's top performing arts schools.
At just 28, Anna is carving her own space in the industry with a powerful mix of talent, grit, and glowing optimism. We talk about the rollercoaster of being a young actor, navigating the grind of auditions, finding your type, trusting the process, and staying joyful even when the phone's not ringing.
This is a raw and honest chat — one that speaks directly to the now generation of performers building their craft and career from the ground up.
