Stark Talk: Robert Carlyle

Robert Carlyle

BBC Radio Scotland - Stark Talk, Robert Carlyle

Edi meets the shining star of theatre, film and television famous for his myriad roles.

Edi meets the shining star of theatre, film and television and talks about growing up in Maryhill, attending drama school in Glasgow, and founding the Raindog theatre company.

In this festive edition of Stark Talk, Edi meets a shining star of theatre, film and television. He has a roll call of villainy and terrorism,  Machiavellian science and international sex trafficking. He’s been inside the head of Adolf Hitler and also John Lennon. He’s been a triumphant one night stand stripper, beloved Highland policeman, a Priest more than once, and most recently a Tory Prime minister….And of course he is the unforgettable Begbie. Like his father, who brought him up singlehandedly, he was working as a painter and decorator when, for reason he still can’t explain, when he was 18,  he enrolled in acting classes at the Glasgow Arts Centre. In a whistle stop tour of his life, we hear about growing up in Maryhill, drama school in Glasgow, founding the Raindog theatre company and how playing a Liverpool psychopath changed in the drama series Cracker changed his path….professionally and personally.
