Knives Out is (legendary) director Rian Johnson’s latest ‘Whodunnit’. The movie tells the story of the Thrombey family whose patriarch is suspiciously ‘killed’ and they need to get to the bottom of, well, who done it. Cue three hilarious policemen led by Daniel Craig sporting an impressive Southern American accent (it’s nice to see him in something that isn’t awfully British). He seemed to…
It’s fair to assume that Tom Harper’s The Aeronauts verges on the twee side of life. Or rather, that was my assumption. A Victorian-set film starring Jones and Redmayne who were already in 2014’s The Theory of Everything could suggest that. It just sounds a bit – wholesome.

Jojo Rabbit is director Taika Waititi’s (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do in the Shadows) latest dark comedy.

Summer is coming to an end. It’s getting colder. The nights are drawing in (as my dad loves to say). But – it means that there’s so much great TV coming to your teleboxes and brilliant movies hitting the big screen. At the end of the week Downton will be making its film debut. I’m also excited to see the legendary Awkwafina (of…
Acting Work
I have worked on the screen, in theatre and on the radio. I have done shows for the BBC, performed on various stages around London and recorded stage plays for Audible. I trained at Drama Centre where I was awarded a scholarship for my place on the course. I am now also host and producer of The Screenster Podcast because I wanted to learn more about the nuts and bolts of the industry and chat to others who work in it – from producers to script supervisors.

Me, Myself & I
I’m Georgie, a trained actress who is passionate about the good shows on your screens. I’m also a writer and podcast host, captain of my netball team and Newcastle United enthusiast. In terms of your film & TV screens, I’m interested in good shows that entertain, make you laugh, keep you company and prove that there are still lots of jobs out there. I’m also very passionate in talking about mental health. So many people struggle with it and I think it’s important we keep the conversation up.
