The Risking Space

Claudia Doumit is no stranger to risk! She's an exuberant talent with a "just do it" attitude whose move from Australia in her early 20s has lead to starring roles on NBC's Timeless, Amazon Prime's The Boys, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, for which she was the first playable female protagonist! We talk about walking through fear, saying yes no matter what, and booking roles in languages you don't actually speak! Other topics include theatre (Claudia is an Ammunition Theatre Member), daring to dig deeper into all of your creative impulses, and Sleepy Time Tea. So, snuggle up with a cuppa and enjoy!
