In this episode of My Music, host Graham Coath sits down with rising actor Enzo Dearing to discuss the relationship between music, film, and performance.

Although Enzo is best known for his work on screen rather than as a musician, music plays a central role in his experience of storytelling. From his admiration for film composer Hans Zimmer to the influence of the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack on his early love of cinema, Enzo explains how powerful scores shape emotion, tension, and character on screen.

The discussion moves through several themes, including:

• How film soundtracks help actors connect with the emotional rhythm of a scene

• The role of music in Bollywood productions and why those films feel so distinctive

• Enzo’s disciplined approach to acting, including detailed script preparation and performance notes

• His experience playing a darker character in the vertical series Alpha Stepbrothers Bite Me

• Why breaking into acting often depends as much on business skills and persistence as talent

Enzo also reflects on the moment he realised acting was the path he wanted to pursue, inspired by a childhood fascination with pirates and the cinematic world of Pirates of the Caribbean. The conversation even touches on dream roles, from portraying Jack Sparrow’s son to potentially playing a young Elvis.

Along the way, Graham and Enzo explore the realities of building a career in film, the importance of audience reaction for performers, and how music quietly underpins some of cinema’s most powerful moments.

If you enjoy conversations about film, performance, and the creative forces behind storytelling, this episode offers a thoughtful look at how music and acting intersect.
