Why does Hollywood continue to cast so many British actors in major films? Acting coach Atul Mongia breaks down the role of theatre training, language, market access and the UK’s long acting tradition.
In this conversation, Mongia also discusses how actors find a character on set, the growing opportunities for Indian actors in international cinema, Dev Patel’s success, and the international work of actors such as Irrfan, Om Puri and Anupam Kher. He also talks about preparing actors for auditions, dialect coaching, why Hollywood is yet to cast an Indian actor as a major commercial lead, and his recent work with Shraddha Kapoor.
