Will Poulter - Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip #167

A triple welcome upon you to this, the 167th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A very merry Wednesday to you all (assuming you are the Team 3W first responders - if that's not the case, a very merry whatever day it is). A huge one this week, as Pip is joined by young acting heavyweight Will Poulter!In the midst of his current promo run for Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit', Will takes time to sit down with Pip for a long overdue chat covering - as you will have come to expect from the DPP - a crazy large number of bases... From the issues raised in portraying a violently racist policeman in 'Detroit' (and the poignancy of the film itself), a powerful back and forth is triggered with Pip and Will, which is the beauty of films like this and how an open discussion can be had which leads into so much more besides - race, politics, society, it's all here. On top of that, you'll hear his tale from the very early days back in 'School Of Comedy' and how his young foot in the acting world's door gave him the necessary inspiration for a full on career, Will drops some gems from his unique perspective on his experience with acting and his ascent from those younger days right up to 'Son Of Rambow', 'The Maze Runner' and 'The Revenant', the latter of which had him up alongside Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hardy no less. A rich and diverse filmography right there, which has in many ways freed him from his somewhat reductive nickname of 'that Weird Eyebrow Actor'. Get yourself involved, it's a goodie and as interesting as it is entertaining. And for the love of gawd go see 'Detroit'!••••• WILL on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/PoulterWill••••• WILL on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/willpoulter••••• WILL on IMDB! - www.imdb.com/name/nm2401020/••••• 'DETROIT' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFeWsDpy9y0•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTER! - https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAM! - https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo•••••••••• SPEECH DEVELOPMENT RECORDS – https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com•••••••••• FOLLOW AND ENJOY!!!
