Another Aussie in LA
Join Ansuya Nathan as she navigates the city of Angels, chatting to some of the shiniest Aussies in L.A., sharing their tales of living, working and playing on this side of the globe.

It's pilot season here in Hollywood! So Anna Lise and I talk about her highly successful experience with it last year. Thus, NBC's Revolution is discussed at length. Honorable mentions also go to dying on screen, method acting, the self-reliance of American actors and self testing.  And everything – I mean, EVERYTHING – is extraordinary.

Meet James Mitchell, a net-savvy content creator and head of production at 4WT Media.  In this episode, we discuss feeding the beast that is the internet, working with super-human-acting-machine Matt Damon, being dedicated to You Tube, Prometheus (yay!) and real life treasure hunts. James turns the tables on me and asks me questions too… Hmmmm…

Kimberley and I have a good old natter about the importance of being a human above and beyond being an actor, what she learnt by watching Ryan Kwanten on set, the housewives sub-genre in reality TV, breaking news that is neither really breaking or really news and all manner of things Home and Away. I out myself as a Harry Potter fan and demonstrate my lack of comprehension when it comes to sport. Excellent! Oh, and there are puppy interruptions...

Caro visits LA for a couple of days. We chat about Aussie procedurals vs. US ones, detectives in hot tubs, Renaissance man James Franco, youth ambassadors for Australia, soapy donuts and Yes, Prime Minister. We reminisce about the ol' days at drama school and she uses a couple of big words that I don't know... Just the usual.
