In our first full episode, the four Smith brothers sit down with James Nelson-Joyce - the star of This City is Ours and one of Liverpool’s finest actors - for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about boxing, acting, pressure, identity, and what it takes to survive at the top of your craft. We talk candidly about: Growing up in Liverpool and finding acting by chance Rejection, luck, and having a chip on your shoulder The crossover between boxing mentality and acting discipline Heroes, inspirations, and the importance of seeing someone “like you” make it Ego, confidence, delusion; and why you need all three to succeed Boxing culture, celebrity fights, and respect for anyone who steps in the ring From Mike Tyson and Rocky to gym culture, auditions, bad nights, and life after the spotlight - this is a proper conversation, not soundbites. Boxing is the starting point. Life beyond the ring is the real subject.
