68. Fearlessly Failing: Joel Jackson - From winning a Logie to shooting in Colombia with Daniel Radcliff

What a legend! I could have spent all day talking to this inquisitive, open, honest, intelligent actor, producer, writer, musician, producer. I don’t really know where to start introducing Joel, calling him a high achiever feels like an understatement. He’s won Logie and AACTA awards. Straight out of NIDA he was cast as “Charles Bean” in Deadline Gallipoli literally as the lead. Then came the Peter Allen mini series, and yep he was Peter Allen; he sang, and learnt to dance for the role. He bought tap dancing shoes and tapped in his garage for 2 hours every day. He’s worked alongside some of the greats: Sam Worthington, Charles Dance, Bryan Brown and was in a movie called Jungle with Daniel Radcliff which was filmed in Columbia where he played Marcus; a Swiss-German teacher. I could spend this whole paragraph listing off his credits: H is for Happiness, Safe Harbor, Mystery Road 2, I met a Girl, Ms. Fisher’s Modern Mysteries, the list goes on… He’s also worked in theatre with the Melbourne Theatre Company. He’s got a great (and funny) podcast called “So what do you reckon” this guy doesn’t stop. He’s back on set filming Ms. Fisher’s Modern Mysteries Series 2!

Joel Jackson is a powerhouse, I can’t wait to watch his career unfold even more, and it was a total honor to chat to this all round legend.
