BACKSTAGE TAKES WITH ASHLEY MARGOLIS

What made you want to become an actor?

I’ve always wanted to be an actor. I grew up in a family that did a lot of amateur dramatics and I loved watching people perform. I did a production of Oliver aged 6 and so it’s always been in my bones. My auntie trained at GSA (Guildford) and I started working at 8 years old.



Which celebrity is your character most like and why?

Haha… I mean I guess Seth Rogen is the only famous ‘stoner’ I really know..also Darwin’s a nepo baby…. so I think there’s probably a few to choose from!



What would your character’s drink of choice be?

I think he is a bit like dude from The Big Lebowski, so let’s say White Russian…. Or a really spicy margarita!



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

Ahhh I mean both Richie and The Voice are great roles, but I think there are so many ways you can play with the voice, it would be really interesting to explore that.

 

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

I have no idea.. I’d love to direct more, write more…. And I love food and travelling.. so a food critic maybe?!



What is your favourite moment in the show?

I don’t want to spoil anything!!!
