Pierre Bourdaud, a French actor based in Beijing and previous The Mighty Dragon interviewee joined me recently on the podcast to catch up.

I was keen to hear how his career is unfolding in China and how he adapts his acting style to the local culture.

It’s hard to believe two years have passed since we last spoke. In our conversation, Pierre shares his experiences navigating the unpredictable and unstable film industry in the wake of the pandemic, and how it has directly impacted his career.

Having lived as an expat in China for over 20 years, Pierre offers fascinating insights into the importance of networking in China and contrasts it with his experiences in his native France.

As a dedicated father and husband, he also opens up about balancing family life with his career, and shares his aspirations for the future.

Is a return to France on the horizon, or has he found a lasting home abroad? Tune in to find out.

Ian Attard

The Mighty Dragon has added yet another Bridgerton interview to the collection! I was delighted that actor, Ian Attard, joined me on the podcast to talk about his character, Nelson, and what it’s like being part of the smash-hit Netflix series.

Ian talks about his research for the character Nelson, Anthony’s devoted valet and right hand man. He mentions what its like working with Jonathan Bailey who portrays Anthony Bridgerton and life on set in the glamourous Regency Era.

Ian discusses his acting inspirations, how he got into acting and his character preparation. Ian is a versatile actor, he’s appeared in Supacell, EastEnders, Belgravia, The Fall of the Krays and, of course, Bridgerton. We touch upon what he learned as an actor from these various experiences.

Finally, how would Ian see himself in the Regency Era, would he be a noble or pauper? Find out below…
