Eddie Marsan is in the building!


We sat down with the acting legend to talk through his career on screen, from working with top British independent film directors like Mike Leigh to unforgettable roles in American blockbusters like Gangs of New York, and everything in between.


Eddie also shared his views and ideas on how to improve working-class access to the arts, and how he developed his craft as one of Britain's leading character actors.
