79 - Adam Ali: Casting Calls, Coming of Age & Waterloo Road

We're joined by an actor is not just one of the stars of the BBC's Waterloo Road, they're also a patron of the charity Switchboard and an proud advocate for LGBTQ+ causes... Adam Ali is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia! Adam also starred in the final series of Apple TV's Little America (for which they were nominated for a Film Independent Spirit Award) and they wrote and starred in the BFI Flare Festival short film BABA. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Adam talk about the downfall of Manchester Pride and what Pride should actually look like. They also talk about wild casting processes, the politics of authenticity and why we need more women and POC-led sets. And, of course, the episode is packed full of Big Brother obsessions and plotting Tia’s future cameo on Waterloo Road (complete with drag and drama).
