INTERVIEW: MARK WAKELING

The actor and managing director of the Actors Temple talks to Aleks Sierz about how his actors’ training centre offers an alternative, or supplement, to drama school, and how the techniques of Sanford Meisner have inspired him and his colleagues. Recorded at the Actors Temple, London.

In the commercial world, most actors are completely powerless, whereas if you are independent you can get together with others and do what you really want.
