Show Notes

Theo James joins the show to discuss his role in Guy Ritchie's series, The Gentlemen. James plays Eddie Horniman, an aristocrat who inherits his family estate only to discover that it's home to an enormous weed empire run by a dangerous group of proprietors. James reflects on being inspired by Ritchie's films as a teenager, describes the aspects of The Gentlemen that drew him to the series, explains how he adapted to the fast-paced environment that Ritchie creates on set, and shares what it was like to work alongside his co-stars Kaya Scodelario and Daniel Ings. James also talks about his early interests in music and comedy, describes how he tried not to fanboy over Michael Imperioli on the set of The White Lotus, and shares a few of his biggest artistic inspirations.
