How does one describe this interview I did with Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes last Thursday …
Hmm, well it starts off pretty uncomfortable, starts to become comfortable and ends in the most hilarious of ways! It was strange and crazy, yet a lot of fun. Thanks to Hughesy for being such a great sport and having a laugh!

AN INTERVIEW WITH Dave Lawson
Dave Lawson is an Australian television and radio personality. You may have recently seen him as Scott in ABC1’s comedy series Utopia or as Graeme in the film, The Mule. I interviewed Dave about his love for catering, shaving his head, working with Game of Thrones‘ Peter “The Dink” Dinklage, fatherhood and more.
How did you first get into acting?
I was studying Advertising at RMIT in the late 90’s, and a mate of mine in the course, his mum was an Agent – which was very helpful. I’d called a few agents previously and they’d told me to call back when I’d done some work. Kind of a catch 22 – you can’t get work without an Agent and can’t get an Agent without work. The first audition to was for a chocolate milk called ‘Gary’. I got the job and was hooked – mainly for the catering.
Is acting always something that you’ve wanted to do?
Not particularly, I always enjoyed being a dick and trying to make friends laugh, it wasn’t until I was about 16 that I considered I might like to become an actor one day. The early advice I received was to have a fall back career, which is why I studied Advertising. It seemed like a mix of acting and drawing – my favourite subjects at high school. I was constantly reminded of the statistic that 99% of actors are out of work. Dad reminded me that also means 1% are in work.

Tasmanian performer Colin has been working in the industry for over thirty years. He is currently playing the role of lonely music shop owner Billy in Once, the new musical at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne. I spoke to Colin about dream roles, down time and art imitating life.
You’re a well-rounded performer – from acting on screen, singing and dancing on stage, being a tour guide, stand up comedy, live performances and more. Is there anything you can’t do?
Make a decent curry. How do you get the lumps out?

I spoke to blogger Natalie from Extra Large As Life about blogging pros vs cons, personal style and how she would react if her mother suddenly turned into a tree – seriously.
Sorry for the jump cut too!
