Host
As a regular segment on The Friday Morning Show, Opening The Box is a fairly free-flow jumble of thoughts gleaned from films I’ve recently seen on the telly. I’m no informed, wise movie buff by any stretch. But as an actor I’ve been lucky enough to journey from playing in front of camera to lounging in front of the screen watching the far better work of others, and that has given me some perspective on why we tell these stories, and what makes audiences tick.

Latest Episode:
'The Pusher Trilogy'
In this episode Charlie talks with Jon and Filipe about his love of Nordic TV and film, and in particular the trilogy of "Pusher" movies by Nicolas Winding Refn. These darkly comic masterpieces of gritty hand-held-camera realism paint an unvarnished, unglamorous, and often hilariously truthful picture of the Copenhagen criminal underworld. Something to savour.
