Back To One

Daisy Ridley


Listen Later

Daisy Ridley shot to global fame for her portrayal of Rey in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. Since then, she has been choosing diverse roles that showcase her talents in films with wide ranging budgets that prove her north star is the quality of the work and nothing else. She has three films that have come out in this year alone—“Sometimes I think About Dying,” “Young Woman and The Sea”, and her latest, “Magpie.” On this episode, she explains how coming up with the idea for “Magpie” and building her character from the ground up was an interesting exercise in multiple ways. She makes a compelling case for why not all actors can be objective enough to give notes on a film, talks about the ways her process changes when she has to do an accent, ponders the healthy amount of worry and uncertainty that surround her return to the character of Rey, and much more.

Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.
