Drewling Samantics
Drew and Sam are actors. They haven’t won any Academy Awards yet, and neither of them is in line to be the new James Bond (sorry Sam), but between them they do have over half a century’s worth of experience in the industry. Many months ago a combination of boredom, significantly reduced work opportunities (thanks pandemic!) and overactive and under-stimulated imaginations inspired them to create a podcast, and somehow they’re still at it. Join the Drewling Samantics chaps every Sunday (or download and listen later) as they give an entertaining insight into how their industry works - from modelling to voiceover, theatre to film, and television to streamed media, the gents talk about all areas of performance artistry, giving an insider view that is sometimes humorous, often eye-opening or poignant, and at times just downright strange! With regular guest appearances and the odd special ‘on location’ segment, Drewling Samantics brings something unique and fresh to the world of podcasts from two normal blokes, working in a rather abnormal industry.

Iconic
Some people are remembered for the societal contributions they make - ground-breaking discoveries, sporting achievements, scientific breakthroughs, great works of art, revolutionary inventions, important political actions. Many famous figures remain in the limelight seemingly forever, then there those individuals who enjoy a short ‘fifteen minutes of fame’ and fade from memory. Being remembered or even legendary though, comes about in various ways - some pursue notoriety, others become memorable by accident.
The entertainment industry has its own share of folk who have attained unforgettable status - with a portion being revered for their versatility shown in portraying characters of all different kinds, and others giving iconic and unforgettable performances that live with them forever. In this episode of Drewling Samantics, Drew and Sam focus on the latter, and discuss some actors and, more specifically, the roles for which they will always be remembered. There are some films that have defined the careers of their leading actors, BUT, is that definition actually opinion based? Can it entirely depend on the characteristics of the audience member? For example, does your age, or maybe your taste in genres, influence what you would say is a movie-star’s finest performance, or the character that they are, and potentially will be, primarily associated with? Or are there some actors who will never escape their foremost role - whether they want to or not!
Our podcasting pair take on another entertaining (and possibly dividing!) subject today, so tune in now as they deliberate, discuss and debate the significant roles undertaken by a selection of actors, that will (for many people) forever remain in the memory. Why not play along and see if you agree or have ideas of your own, the boys would no doubt welcome listener and viewer contributions. But don’t take it too seriously, it’s all a bit of fun - especially for Drew and Sam as they patiently wait for Drewling Samantics to reach “iconic” status…
