Film
Stalked: Karen Hassan, Actress
28 October 2014
Karen is one to watch this year after making the transition
from Channel 4’s hit soap Hollyoaks to hugely successful BBC2 Thriller The Fall
which is back for a second series this autumn. Karen began her career by
undertaking small roles on the stage most notably in Mixed Marriage at the
Lyric Theatre as well as roles in feature films Hunger and Fifty Dead Men
Walking and in TV movies including Scapegoat (BBC) and Last Man Hanging (BBC)
to name a few.
I had the pleasure of stalking this lovely lady in Marylebone and over coffee at Hunter Gather Cafe quizzed her on her next moves.
What are you working on now?
I've just been cast in Vikings. The script is outstanding
and written by Michael Hirst who also wrote The Tudors and Elizabeth. It's also
has an amazing cast and stars Travis Fimmel, Katheryn Winnick and Clive
Standen, to mention a few. It's an incredible show and I feel so excited to
become part of it. Of course I'm sworn to secrecy and can't tell you much just
yet about my part but it's definitely something that has been a career high for
me. I'm getting stuck in and loving every minute of it. I remember mentioning
in an interview that The Vikings was a show on my wish list of jobs and now I'm
here. I'm counting my lucky stars. I've also got The Fall Series 2 coming out
really soon. I was fortunate enough to be cast in the first series and my
character returns again in series two. I've had a sneak peek at it and it's
absolutely thrilling. Amazing performances from Gillian Anderson and Jamie
Doran. As a viewer I'm glued to it then I pop onto the screen and have to
remind myself I'm in it! Written and directed by the super talented Allan
Cubitt, series two is just entrancing.
Stalked: Gabriela Hersham, Actress
16 December 2013
Recently on the bustling streets of Soho I stalked one very lovely lady and her gorgeous dog Shy an American Eskimo miniature and caught up with her to talk careers and style. The lovely lady in question is none other than the actress, Gabriela Hersham, whose stared in films such as North by Northeast and most recently Crying Wolf.
What do you do and why do you love your job?
I'm an actress. I love
my job because I meet interesting people who are doing interesting things and I truly believe that the film industry adds value to the world. At the moment I'm enjoying developing an acting method that suits me best and seeing
my progress.
Stalked: Billy Zane, Actor/Artist in Evelyn Yard
9 October 2013
Today I caught up with Billy Zane prior to his forthcoming exhibition, 'Seize The Day Bed' which commences from Thursday at the fashionable Fitzrovia gallery, Rook & Raven. You may all recognise Billy from iconic films such as Titanic and Dead Calm, but for the last 17 years he has been painting avidly both at home in LA and on sets around the world. I had the pleasure of catching up with him while he had a spare 10 minutes while setting up the show.
What was his main
inspiration for seize the day bed? And what's the story behind the name?
I love wordplay and
puns in particular. SEIZE THE DAY BED resonated as a curious philosophy as
well. Urgent relaxation became a mandate when creating this collection because
action painting, is actually quite meditative and a relaxing to me
really.
