Robert Morgan (The Return): The Good Bastard Always Rises📺 Episode Overview

In this episode, Steve Otis Gunn reconnects with his friend and actor, Robert Morgan. From The Proposition to The Accountant 2 — and now starring in the upcoming Sylvester Stallone biopic I Play Rocky, where he plays Burgess Meredith — Rob shares tales from Hollywood and home: riding horses in the desert with Ray Winstone, working alongside Florence Pugh and Billy Bob Thornton, and almost toppling a motorbike on The Flying Doctors. He opens up about longevity in the industry, the art of playing a “good bastard,” and why he still loves championing new filmmakers. Expect stories of grit, short films, and surreal encounters on both sides of the Pacific.

Episode Highlights:

• The wild life of being an Aussie actor in Hollywood
• Filming The Accountant 2 — and why audiences wanted him dead
• Working with Florence Pugh in New Zealand
• Playing Burgess Meredith in I Play Rocky — and how it feels to step into shorter shoes

This episode is perfect for anyone who loves raw, unfiltered talk about acting, filmmaking, and survival in showbiz — or just wants to hear Rob Morgan say “fuck” a lot.
