My War on Pimples

For some people it’s a battle, for me it’s an ongoing war.

My skin is fairly good, not overly oily and not usually too dry (unless I’ve been obsessively scrubbing my face and over experimenting with cleansers) but unfortunately I am faced with reappearing acne as well as blemish marks that don’t seem to completely disappear. The problem areas for me are my chin, forehead and that annoying area between the eyebrows. Every time I seem to have a breakout or giant rebel pimple under control I discover a fresh set or new pesky pimple has popped up overnight. *face palm*

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.

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

No. Seriously. Does anyone have the answer? That Mad Hatter, damn him and his adorable hat, has kept me in suspense for years.

No one knows? Ok. Let’s work this out together… a raven is a bird and birds often sit/nest/live in trees… and a writing desk is made of wood… also from trees… so this means… absolutely nothing. I’ve got nothing, people!

I seriously think Tim Burton should write a film where a raven meets a writing desk and Continue reading “Why is a raven like a writing desk?”
