Erana picked up acting a few years back and has already built quite a

catalogue of works. In addition to her role as Toni, you can find her in

feature-length film ‘The changeover’ (2017) and as a recurring character in

the New Zealand product ‘Golden Boy’ (2019).

We caught up with her to hear about the challenges of getting into

character & how COVID affected the media circuit for ‘The Wilds’. Erana

shares how she stays resilient both on set and when facing an industry with

a lot of knockbacks, you’ll also find some genuine heartfelt advice for

anyone who wants to do the same.

You can follow Erana James on her Instagram.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Waddawurung, Bonurung, and

Wurundjeri people of the eastern Kulin nation, and we wish to acknowledge

them as the traditional owners.
