Season 1
Episode 7
Chris Cottam & Leon Butler
Brimming with anxiety this week is Steve Mackintosh (Lock Stock, Luther, Stan Lee’s Lucky Man, Memphis Belle). Steve is an actor with an insanely long CV (or Resumé for our Stateside friends.)Steve has been in the biz since he was a carefree, young nipper. He got married in his early 20s and managed to run a successful acting career alongside bringing up two kids with his wife. He takes us through his life’s quibbles and thoughts; the anxieties of acting, making the right job choices, voices overs, getting recognised, hating social media.Steve is also a great focus on High Anxiety as we chat about pure happiness, getting older and staying ‘cool’. He proves his cool credentials by playing us some crazy music he made on an OP1, which to all intents and purposes is a plastic box that beeps. You’ll hear…There is some great old man chat in there, some good decluttering stories; Leon boxes all his CDs and Chris reveals he never throws away his underwear.If that isn’t enough to make you want to listen then we cannot help.
