Today on The Outtake Show, we're joined by the director and producer behind one of Netflix's most talked-about documentaries right now — Liana Stewart and Ellie Sabine- Singh, the team that made Mo Gilligan's Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy.

Today on The Outtake Show, we're joined by our first-ever actors in the building — and we doubled up. The creators and stars of the hit micro-drama series ACTORS Hope & Ezra pull back the curtain on what it really takes to be a working actor in the UK right now.

From turning an unused pilot script into a breakout vertical series, to shooting the entire show in just 7 days, Hope & Ezra break down why they stopped waiting for the phone to ring and started making their own work — and why more actors should do the same.

We talk self-tapes, the unspoken competition between actors, working-class barriers in the industry, China's $9 billion micro-drama business, and the three ways to actually book a role (only one of which is auditioning).
