BACKSTAGE TAKES WITH JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE

What made you want to become an actor?

I think this is such a nebulous answer and it changes moment to moment for me. Today I would say it’s the enjoyment of playing and knowing that the little mischievous spirit in me can escape-briefly!

 

What would your character’s drink of choice be?

Hhhhmmmm I would say Sid’s drink of choice would be a Guinness but Jamaican Guinness, which is the Foreign Extra Stout one.

 

If you weren’t playing your character, which character in the show would you want to play and why?

I would want to play Mr Morrison, if you know you know!

 

If you weren’t an actor, what would you be?

Top three without explanation

1.Trainer/sneaker shop owner/salesman

2.Horologist

3.Lego designer

 

What is your favourite moment in the show? 

“It was only my lamp bro…” I’m trying not to ruin surprises…Sorry!

 

What’s your favourite scary film or play? 

Oh film, Get Out, The Others and Midsommar there are so many more, that’s off the top the head. Plays…that’s tricky…I’m not sure, Oh A Ghost In Your Ear -LOL!

 

A Ghost In Your Ear plays Hampstead Downstairs until 31 January.
