AGNES AND JUNIOR: TWO LITTLE SHRIMPS In an industry dominated by the fast fashion giants and their often unethical design and production practices, it is refreshing to see a young designer working almost entirely with Faux Fur. With a background in History of Art and a diploma in Textile Design from the London College of Fashion, Hannah Weiland takes her inspiration from the witticisms of modern art and a playful engagement with pattern and texture. Shrimps is a range of beautifully crafted pieces for the forward-thinking customer with

a taste for the fun in fashion. The first collection, now available at Workshop stores and Workshop online, blends the simplicity of the classic Breton-stripe with bright faux-furs to create coats and clutch bags that are at once nostalgic and surreal, yet also contemporary.

From age six Bethany Whitmore has been a career actress, launching straight into the industry playing opposite Debra Messing. Her next roles found her alongside Toni Colette and then with Rebecca Gibney. Now at the tender age of “nearly seventeen” she’s come into her own, winning moviegoers hearts leading the cast of Girl Asleep the new Australian coming-of-age film taking on the world. Within the film’s aesthetic of Moonrise Kingdom meets Where The Wild Things Are, with a touch of Napoleon Dynamite, Whitmore’s Greta is a dreamy loser entirely unmoved about the prospect of puberty who falls into a dream world when reality isn’t really going her way. Hi Bethany, tell us a little about yourself and what you do: I am a student and an actor and aspiring fashion designer. Born in Melbourne, I grew up in Surrey Hills. In year 7, my family relocated to Singapore where we lived for nearly two years. It was amazing, I was exposed to a whole new way of life and culture. I will never forget the incredible food, and people I met there. Now I live in Fitzroy, the hipster hub of Melbourne… the op-shops are to die for, more than 85% of my clothes are now second-hand. As an actor, I like bringing to life and telling the story of someone other than myself. I have been very lucky in life, and to now have the opportunity to play Greta in Girl Asleep has been a dream. I love acting because it is a creative outlet, telling stories with the potential to influence people, and from my experience of watching movies, they can help cheer you up and be your best friend when you just need a laugh. When did you become interested in the idea of being an actor? At age six, I had my very first audition for a US TV mini-series, The Starter Wife, to play Debra Messing’s daughter. Next thing I was flown to Queensland for four months to shoot my first ever role. The producers thought I was eight

years old with years of experience. I believe they were a bit surprised when they discovered I was six years old with no experience. They bought on some acting coaches who helped me through the experience, and taught me the basics, like not to look at the camera, and not to pat the fluffy boom. How does your family support you as you work as an actor? My whole family is hugely supportive of me, regarding becoming an actor. Especially my mum who drives me to all my auditions, helps me find the right clothes to wear to match the characters, comes interstate with me when filming and has been right by my side the whole way, and has never let me become big headed. I think having a supportive family is crucial for surviving this industry, as not only do they help you when it’s tough, but they do keep you grounded. Girl Asleep is getting such rave reviews and feedback worldwide, what were your challenges wining the lead role? I definitely found it challenging, especially since it was my first big lead. I wanted to do Greta justice because I think that she is a critical character for young girls to look up to. I wanted to get her journey right, and since she was the central character, and a passive one, that was quite difficult. I was required on set for basically every scene, however, I never once felt tired, because I was in my element with people I adored. Working all day and sometimes even all night. It was a blast! How is Greta in the film different to you in real life – and how is she similar?I think that I am quite similar to Greta because at the time we filmed, I had only just turned 15. I was still, and am still finding myself as a woman, which is Greta’s journey during the film. She and I both played with our toys up until we were teenagers, and we can both be quite reserved. However, I am growing up in the 21st century, which is a very different time to the ‘70s where becoming an independent woman was a lot harder. Also, I feel that everyone encounters a bully, everyone forms awkward crushes

and everyone struggles to find/discover themselves sometimes. How do you get into character? To me it is crucial to explore all the deeper meanings in the script and to understand the journey of not only my character, but also everyone in the story. Another thing that helps is the costumes, for once I am in their clothes, I feel like them. Once I am on set, and I am in the scene, I find the character just comes to life. I also don’t over-rehearse my lines; I learn them once I am on set, which helps keep my performance fresh. I have a photographic memory, so learning lines is not difficult for me, in saying that the art and rhythm of learning lines does take practice, but I have been practicing for ten years now. When choosing and accepting roles – what aspects are the main considerations for you? I think that the roles you take on, shape your career, and some would argue that ‘it’s not the parts you chose that define your career, but the ones you say no to’. The characters I tend to be more interested in are the ones that tell compelling stories and are challenging. What tips have you had from other more experienced actors? Stay true to yourself. Never get ahead of yourself because you never know what’s going to happen. Always put your best foot forward and try everything. Have an open mind about every role and work hard not to turn down auditions, because every audition is a chance to perform. What’s important to you? I find human connection vital, like spending time with your friends, supporting the community and those in need. I think that with the progression of technology we aren’t spending so much time together, where we don’t have a screen in our face.

21-year-old Canberra native Ben Kindon left the Australian capital behind to chase his dream to attend one of the best national drama schools in Perth. From there to the big smoke of Sydney, and it’s paying off. After rave reviews of his performance in ABC’s Barracuda he looks continue his journey on, to L.A.’s bright lights. As stuck-up teen Martin Taylor in the show, he is both the bullying overprivileged yet driven competitor and covert love interest to Elias Anton’s Danny Kelly, but IRL Kindon’s a selfdescribed sci-fi fantasy nerd with a love of videogames and the occasional Saturday night spent role-playing Dungeons & Dragons. Hey Ben, tell us a little about yourself and what you do…I’m an actor. I’ve been performing on stage since I was a kid, and I’ve known it’s what I want to do with my life since as long as I can remember. How did you discover acting? And when did you be come interested in the idea of being an actor? When I was a toddler I used to put on little shows for my family with my sister, Stef. We would do annual Christmas shows in our living room. I would wear a little bowtie and a vest and force my grandma to listen to us belt out some Christmas carols. I first auditioned for my school play when I was 13 and I never heard anything back. To them I say, LOOK AT ME NOW. I wanted to be Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker so bad. I would steal my dad’s ceremonial navy sword and pretend I was Aragorn in the backyard. I got so swept up in those stories I desperately wanted to be a part of them. You attended WAAPA (Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts) in Perth - how did you come to attend there and why did you choose that particular school? I spent all of high school hoping I would get there at the end. I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t get in. I also really liked the sense of isolation there. We weren’t constantly under the gaze of industry professionals

and agents there as would have happened in Sydney or Melbourne, so we got the chance to screw up which I definitely did more than a few times. What are your thoughts on studying and learning your craft full-time versus working without formal training? I wouldn’t be the actor I am today without training. Some actors are able to pull it off; I don’t think I’m one of them. I think acting is all about confidence. You wouldn’t get up on stage in front of 400 people if you weren’t confident that what you were doing was good, that would be crazy. Acting training is very good in both giving that confidence and taking it away. Acting school taught me specificity; so that I can look at this very objective thing we do in an analytical way, and know which way to go. It gives you a method or a recipe that if you follow you know that you’ll be on the right track and there’s a certain comfort in that. However, it also gives you the insecurity of having had your art scrutinised and graded on a scale for three years. I think people who haven’t trained have less of that insecurity at times. They’re more comfortable with taking a script, jumping up and giving it their all then and there. How is Martin different to you in real life? And how is he similar? Martin Taylor is upper-middle class, racist and spoilt. I’m none of these things, that’s exactly what made it so much fun. What I will say, though, is that we’re both very competitive. Don’t challenge me to a game of Mario Kart if you value your dignity. What techniques do you use to get into character? I like music. I make a playlist for each character that I play that I’ll listen to as I warm up. I find it especially useful for period pieces. What were your favourite parts of filming Barracuda? Do you have some funny stories about being on the Barracuda set? When I was in the final stages of auditioning, Rob (Connolly, director) asked me if I had any sick dance moves I could bust out in the nightclub scene. I lied and said yes. When that scene eventually came around, there were about 40 extras

packed into this club and I had to “sexy dance”. The catch was: on the day there was no music. It was not my proudest moment. When taking on roles – what are the main considerations for you? Is having fun with a character important? Having fun is nice, but it’s not the deal breaker. It wouldn’t really be fair if I were just having fun at work every day. I’m interested in stories. That’s what drew me into Barracuda so much, it was a gripping story and I just wanted to be involved somehow. Do you ever feel famous? Do you ever get recognised and how do you deal with it? Especially for the four weeks the show was on, it was crazy. I was getting recognised just about every day. There was one shift at work where I was recognised 12 times. Someone gave my manager a note intended for me, I walked past someone who was googling me on their phone, and I’ve posed for a whole lot of selfies with strangers. It’s a strange thing, but it’s flattering to know that people enjoyed the show. What are your thoughts on being a character actor vs. a leading man - what kinds of roles do you want for yourself? I would ask, why not both? I am desperate to do a fantasy or a sci-fi though. Somebody give me magic, a sword or a blaster! What tips have other older actors shared with you? They remind me that I’m young and there’s time, you can’t build a career in a day. What is the best part about your job? When you’re so in the moment you don’t feel like you’re acting. What is the worst? The rejection. You are going to the US very soon for meet-and-greets – how are you feeling about that? What are you anticipating could happen? I expect to return with an Oscar and I won’t take no for an answer. No, I don’t know. I’m going over there to meet people and to get my face out there. It’s the beginning of a long process but I’m anxious to start it. Ben wears: Sweatshirt by J.W. Anderson, shirt by Givenchy and trousers by Raey from Matchesfashion.

At 18-years-old Elias Anton has made a huge impression on the Australian TV and film industry coming out of nowhere to play the lead Danny Kelly in recent ABC mini-series Barracuda. Based on the book by Christos Tsolikas, of “The Slap” and “Head On” fame, Barracuda is the story of a young man hungry to win an Olympic gold medal swimming for Australia and the lengths he’ll go to achieve it. His life gets in the way and the journey of the piece is seeing Danny’s highs and lows as he tries to connect his feelings with his circumstances. Anton is absolutely more easygoing than his onscreen character, but no less ambitious that’s for sure. Hi Elias, tell us a little about yourself… I was born, grew up and still live in Werribee, Victoria, in Australia. Currently I’m in year 12 at MacKillop College and my goal in life is to achieve a successful career as an actor. So far I have been blessed with some remarkable roles both on and off screen. Although it is a challenge juggling my career with the workload at school, I continue to persist for my love of the craft. How did you get into acting? When did you become interested in the idea of being an actor? I started when I was eleven years old. I was shy as a kid and discovered acting to help me get out of my shell. Although it benefited my self-confidence, I sometimes feel so invested into my characters that I am more comfortable living their personas than being myself. I fell in love with acting as soon as I picked up a script. I knew right from my first drama class that acting would be a major part of my life, I am blown away with how well it has played out for me so far considering the level of detail I invest in my character and how much I care. Do you need to spend time away from home filming? Is that hard? During the Barracuda shoot I spent my time at St Kilda in a hotel. It was hard living away from home; I was still seventeen and

felt I had a lot of weight on my shoulders, workload wise. As for Australia Day, I am currently in Brisbane in production staying in an apartment building, away from my family who are back in Melbourne. Although the work needs to be done and I have a lot of fun being part of it, I do tend to get homesick and miss my family. What were the biggest challenges in being in the lead role? Out of the hundreds of scenes we shot in a short amount of time, there were only three or four that I was wasn’t in. I had to memorise roughly a dozen pages every night after a twelvehour day, half of which would be spent in the pool. I had to build my physicality and performance as a swimmer, which I found difficult considering that I am not a swimmer. Your character Danny was such an angry man resolving things badly, lashing out, and coming to terms with himself for much of the show - how did you relate to him? How is Danny in the film different to you in real life – and how is he similar? Unlike Danny, I try to gather my thoughts and consider the most reasonable solution to a problem yet I was able to relate to him because much like him, I bottle my emotions. He keeps to himself with regards to how he feels; it’s about what he’s not saying as supposed to what he is. Honestly, my strongest relationship to Danny is through his drive to achieve what he desires. He wants to make it to the 2000 Sydney Olympics and is willing to do whatever it takes to get there, and that’s how I feel in regards to my acting career. What were your favourite parts of filming Barracuda? I was excited to finally be on a professional film set and tried to absorb as much as I could. Talking to the likes of Rachel Griffiths, Matt Nable and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor taught me plenty on how to hold myself on camera and being familiar with the routine of the set. Rob Connolly is an amazing director and I loved that he was lenient with the script allowing me to expand my horizons, still keeping in mind that we are telling a story and a point has

to be made after each scene. What tips have other older actors shared with you? Can you share them with us? My acting coach on set once told me “a restriction of actors is generalisation”, meaning that you must be very specific with every aspect that reflects your character’s life, back story and given circumstances. Your next role is in the upcoming film Australia Day - What can you tell us about it? I am currently in Brisbane in production of Australia Day, a feature film of which I am proud to play one of the lead roles, Sami. This film will have a broad reach importantly I believe, as it sheds light on a side of Australia that is yet to be heard. Without being too specific, the film highlights prejudice and racism of minority groups in this country and identifies the difficulties of those who battle for ethnic acceptance. What is the best part about your job? What is the worst? I love meeting new people, particularly those who have similar goals and aspirations as me. I learn from the different stories I hear and use that to benefit my performance. I also love that fact that my career is taking me places. A definite downside to this industry is rejection, if you don’t have a thick skin consider another pathway. I have dealt with my fair share of rejection so I have learnt to accept when a character isn’t right for me. What makes you smile? When I know that I have done my mum proud. I also get really happy when I get messages from fans saying that they love my performance and from other actors saying I inspire them. What’s important to you? My family is the most important aspect of my life, I can learn to deal with grief that affects me on a personal level but when something happens to someone I care for it hurts more.

A distinctive presence with his trademark curly red hair and deadpan timing, Melbourne born and raised 16-year-old Harrison Feldman has up until now been best known for his portrayal of “slack-jawed” tween Oscar Bright on ABC’s Upper Middle Bogan, even receiving a Logie nomination in 2014 for Most Popular New Talent. Now his appearance playing opposite Bethany Whitmore in Girl Asleep gives Feldman the chance to grow-up, just a little bit. As quintessentially scrawny schoolyard geek Elliot, he rises above cliché nerdiness imbuing his character with a real sense of vulnerability and wide-eyed wonder in this fairy tale about adolescent identity. Harrison, please tell us a bit about yourself…I’m currently studying year 11 at Bialik College, when my time is not spent studying or at school I am involved with scouting, and I go camping/ hiking on weekends. In my spare time I also play a range of instruments from guitar to piano to bass. Currently, as I’m playing Elliot in Girl Asleep, these past few weeks have been raining with interviews and photo shoots. Before now I never would have seen myself as a model. Next I’m very excited to be reprising my role as Oscar Bright in Upper Middle Bogan on ABC for its third season in mid-October for which I’m also appearing in one episode of a new show called Fancy Boy. When did you become interested in becoming an actor? At age four I actually wanted to attend hip-hop dance lessons but my parents for whatever reason found me an acting class instead. Eventually I scored a role in a short film, Carrot, where I first became curious about what when on behind the scenes. How does your family support you? My mum, dad and even my little sister have always been very supportive of my acting. My parents have

been my chaperone, my chauffer and my cheer squad. My Mum took me halfway around the world to attend the Berlin Film Festival for Girl Asleep. How did you get the Girl Asleep role? Director Rosemary [Myers] had seen me in Upper Middle Bogan and approached me. Initially I had to say no to the auditions due to exams at the time, but they persisted and eventually we were able to meet up. What have been your challenges in the role? I would have to say my greatest challenges with having such a large role is the coverage I’ve gained from it. There’s a lot of publicity work after the film and I found the Q&A sessions a bit nerve wracking. Otherwise, I was too busy enjoying being in character so I guess it wasn’t too challenging. What is similar about you and Elliot? And what is different? I often like to say that the Elliot character is a caricature of myself. Whilst my hair doesn’t get as bad as Elliot’s does, I do tend to forget to fix it in the morning. Elliot’s optimism and easy-go-lucky attitude is close to how my friends might describe me. How do you get into character? One of the most important things that I’ve learnt to get into character is letting go of myself. Rather than making a fool of myself or doing crazy things I would never do, I allow myself to transfer into a character that would do these things. I had to get used to the thought that nobody will laugh at me just for acting differently. What influences you to say yes or no to a role? I’ve never turned down a role due to the consideration of the character. Having fun with my character is important but it’s also very hard [for me] to not have fun. Characters similar to myself are always fun because I can play around and the research isn’t too hard. Characters that are not like me are even better as I get to experience the life of someone else. What’s it like being a “kid” on set? Being a kid on set is great fun. It means I get to enjoy time out with the other kids on

set, play card games during downtime and get to make new friends. I also don’t mind eating as much dessert as I can at the lunch and dinner buffets. When there are mostly adults around I tend to get a bit more serious. This is when I get curious about the technical side of TV or filmmaking and ask the crew lots of questions. Is confidence an important quality in an actor? I feel that in the past year my confidence has grown, as I have had to adapt to being in the spotlight. Before I would stress for weeks leading up to an interview but now I feel very comfortable when they come around. Confidence is needed to work as an actor but at the same time, for me, it’s come from being an actor. What are the best and worst parts of your job? I’ve always loved the backstage on any job. I love seeing crowds of people on set each with a unique important job doing their own thing: setting up tents, lighting, cameras, props and sound. A lowlight of my job is the stress that comes along with it and the public character I am expected to uphold. Do you think about the future? I don’t often like to think about the future. I find there is no point for it when I can live in the now. I can plan for the future but I also try and keep a strong hold on the present, otherwise I’ll only looking forward to somewhere I can never reach. What’s important to you? I know this so cliché but my family is number one. We always have so much fun together and there’s always an adventure. I am also fortunate to be surrounded by a huge extended family and friends. They have all been very supportive along the way and in return they are important to me. Harrison wears: Outfit by Dior Homme. Grooming: Fiona Middleton using M.A.C Cosmetics.

19-year-old Tiarnie Coupland started out as a cheeky child actress and has grown up in front of cameras, notably on the high school drama with a time traveling twist, Worst Year of My Life. Currently commuting in between Melbourne, Sydney and L.A. where she is looking for new projects, Coupland has been until recently starring in the third series of Channel 9’s Lovechild a series based on the real life forced adoption of babies from unmarried mothers in Australia during the late ‘60s and ‘70s, for which in 2013, then Prime Minister Julia Gillard offered a national apology to those affected. A lovechild with a lovechild, Maggie is a delinquent teen who returns to the Tarramar Girls Home from which she was given up fifteen years prior, now pregnant herself. It seems that this former good girl’s place is in the bad girl roles, Coupland has just appeared in iconic Aussie soap Neighbours, as Nikki Jackson, a tough cookie looking to defend her sister’s honour in a bare knuckle boxing fight. Hi Tiarnie, can you start by telling us about yourself and what you’ve done so far? I got into acting when I was 8 years old and since then I have been fortunate enough to work in a number of complex and challenging roles for both film (Killing Ground, The Final Winter) and TV (Love Child, Worst Year of My Life Again, and most recently Neighbours). You’re currently in the U.S., What is happening for you there right now? Yes, I’m back in Los Angeles right now, auditioning for roles and establishing myself over here. How does your family support you as you work as an actor? I am fortunate to have quite a close-knit family who are very supportive of my career. My dad and sister often help out with self-tapes, and my mum is always

there to support and encourage me to pursue my dreams. Love Child is now a very established TV series in Australia and starting to travel - and you landed such a fantastic role with Maggie - how did that come about? I auditioned for the role of “Maggie” at the start of 2015 in which I had two recalls; one with the executive producers of the series and another with Geoff Bennett (one of the show’s directors) and Ella Scott Lynch (who plays the role of Shirley - my mother in the show). I received a phone call from my agent not long after saying that I had landed the role, and needless to say I was ecstatic! Were there any challenges in being in such a “bad girl” role? Yes, Maggie is a very complex role as she is just a very vulnerable little girl who has just found out that her whole life has been a lie and so she goes to Kings Cross to found out her true identity, who she is and where she comes from. How is Maggie in the show different to you in real life – and how is she similar? Maggie is very different to me; she is a bit of a wild child! What tricks do you have to get into character? It’s not really a trick, but research plays an important part in being able to gain a true and honest representation of any given role. For example, to help me understand my character Maggie and her perspective, I did a lot of research on people finding out they were adopted and the impact it has now had on their life. You’ve had to deal with some big themes on Lovechild how do you prepare for intense scenes and topics? A week before production I worked with a dramaturge (Nadia Townsend) where we really fleshed out the more emotional scenes in the show; particularly where Maggie finds out that Shirley is her birth mother. This was a 5-minute scene where Maggie really had to flip from one extreme emotion to another and use different tactics to

get to her mum. For a number of other scenes including the one where I gave birth, I prepared myself by doing a lot of research online and watching real-life videos. What were your favourite parts of filming on Love Child? That would have definitely been working with such an amazing and dedicated cast and crew who really took me under the wing (as it was their third season together). It was also a blast to be able to wear clothing and work with props from the 70’s era. Do you ever get recognised and how do you deal with it? Yes, I have been recognised while I have been out and about. We usually have a bit of a chat, and of course take a selfie! What is the best part about your job? And the worst? Being able to live out different types of lives is always a lot of fun. Maggie is a rebel and a real wild child, which I am definitely not! Through acting, I get to experience things that I would never do in real-life on the safety of set. There is no particular worst part about the job, but you do have to play out the waiting game between roles. During that waiting game, what else do you like to do? I’ve always enjoyed both singing and modelling, as they are another forms of art in which I am able to express yourself. What makes you smile? Making other people smile and funny online dog videos (I mean, who doesn’t love them?!). If you could choose another era to live in, when would it be? Why? I would love to live in the 70’s because a lot of great artists came out at that time and they seemed very free-spirited and carefree. Of course, the fashion was also amazing! Give me a cute pinafore any day of the week! What’s important to you? My Family, friends and Poppi, my cavoodle. Tiarnie wears: Outfit by Christian Dior.

Once a household name in New Zealand, beaming into homes each week as Shortland Street’s Kane Jenkins, 19-year-old KJ Apa is about to find a much wider audience in his latest role as Archie Andrews, the namesake character from the iconic comic books, in the CW Network’s new show Riverdale. Following an extensive worldwide star search, Apa now finds himself working alongside Cole Sprouse, Twin Peaks’ alumni Mädchen Amick and with Beverly Hills 90210’s Luke Perry as his on-screen Dad. Set in present day in idyllic of Riverdale, the series explores the surrealism of small-town life, revealing a dark and seedy underbelly beneath its wholesome façade, and fittingly this version of Archie is all-together a darker incarnation: back at school from a summer spent working in construction and having ended a secret affair with his music teacher, and falling out with his best friend Jughead. Described as “a horny, semi-hallucinogenic mystery-drama with a potentially high death toll and lots of skin”, as more information about Riverdale surfaces the makers acknowledge inspiration from “major touchstone” Twin Peaks, the hazyvibed young-love dramas The Virgin Suicides and Heavenly Creatures, with and a touch of Veronica Mars. PostComicCon appearance where the pilot episode was previewed and cast revealed, Apa’s buzz is palpable, as one fan site puts it “He’s not a natural redhead, but I literally couldn’t care less because… Archie got an upgrade.” Hey KJ, Tell us a little about yourself and what you do… I was born in Waitakere City, New Zealand and I’m half Samoan, I love rugby and music and I’ve been acting for about two and a half

years now. After finishing up on Shortland Street, early 2016, I came over to the US to try my luck [at acting]. Things worked out really well and I managed to book some decent work and now I’m currently in Vancouver filming. I’m really close with my family. I have two older sisters; the oldest has just finished her law degree and has moved to Melbourne. The other is currently studying Fine Arts at the University of Auckland. How did you get into acting? It’s funny actually - it was never something I wanted to pursue. Growing up I was really into music and rugby. It was either one, or the other. When I was about thirteen, my Mum made me join local talent agency, Red11. I never really got any work until they told me I had an audition for “Shorty”. Somehow I got the job… Thanks Mum! You cut your acting teeth on the set of a soap opera in NZ… How did you find training by learning on set? And how does your experience there help you now? I came into “Shorty” not knowing a thing about acting. I was self-conscious, nervous, anxious, pretty much everything an actor isn’t meant to be. Acting was so far outside my comfort zone. But after a while, I started to really enjoy it and I was having lots of fun. All those feelings I had at the start were gone. “Shorty” taught me a lot: being placed in a work environment [like that] at sixteen forced me to grow up fast. The ability to learn lines fast was something I got the hang of due to the pace and immense workload. I feel like if you can survive the workload at “Shorty”, you’ll be able to handle any other production. How does your family support you as you work as an actor? I guess there isn’t much my family can do for me when I’m half way around the world, but they’re always there for me when I need a chat, and they send me up the odd Marmite jar every now and then. Do you need to spend time away from

home filming? Do you find that hard? What do you miss about NZ? The only time I go home is to see my family is for Christmas or if I happen to have an extended break. It was tough at the start to be away from home, especially when I hadn’t started filming and I’m just sitting around in some random city I’d never been to. But after doing it a few times I’ve started to develop a routine that works for me and keeps me busy. You play the new 2016 version of comic character Archie, who has his 75th anniversary this year, and have even dyed your hair red to match… what did you know about the character going in? I didn’t know much about Archie. I had to search it up online before my audition. I didn’t really understand how historic the franchise was until I started learning more about it. What can we expect from the show? It’s a dark, subversive drama, based on the most recent adaptation of the comics written by Fiona Staples and Mark Wade. When choosing and accepting roles – what things are the main considerations for you? For me it’s all about the script. If I’m drawn to the script and attracted to the character then I’ll always be interested. What is your dream role? Spiderman was always my favourite superhero. That would be epic. What is the best part about your job? Definitely the travelling to new places and meeting a bunch of new people all the time. What is the worst? Going from job to job you meet a lot of new people and end up developing strong friendships whether it’s with the cast or locals in that particular place. The downside of that is that eventually you have to leave, and more often than not, you never see those people again. KJ wears: Outfit by Zambesi. Styling: David K Shields.

IN THE LATEST OF OUR PROFILES OF YOUNG/ EMERGING NEW ZEALAND ARTISTS,WE FEATURE AUCKLAND ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST CALUM HAUGH WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FABULOUS HEADINGS SEEN THROUGHOUT THIS ISSUE. LIKE MANY OF THE YOUNG CREATIVES WE FEATURE, CALUM IS MULTITALENTED AND PLAYS IN THE BAND GALAXY BEAR AS WELL AS BEING A KICK ASS ILLUSTRATOR

Who are you and what do you do? My name’s Calum, and I’m an illustrator. I’m just finishing up my third year doing communication design at AUT, majoring in communication arts. But that’s just a overly complex way of saying I sit at uni and draw pictures. I’ve been getting quite into lettering and doing posters, for gigs and that sort of thing. Oh yeah I’ve seen some of your posters around, what got you into that? Well I’m in a band and we needed a poster for our first gig. It seemed like the logical step to get the guy who does illustration to do them. Tell us more about your band! How was that first gig? We’re called Galaxy Bear, because our drummer wears a giant teddy bear head. We properly formed earlier this year, but most of us had been playing together and writing songs since college. There’s five of us, but at that first gig we only had four. Me, my brother Lucas, Alex and the Bear

(who has no name). Michael joined shortly after on guitar. As well as posters, I know you have been working on a ‘zine. What is it about?Myself and some people from uni worked on a zine for a project. We called it Stomping Ground and we interviewed a bunch of Auckland musicians and creatives. While it’s taken a back seat because of our final projects, but we’re keen to continue working on it once that’s all over. It’s actually how I met Grant at Black, we interviewed him about his time in The Headless Chickens. Has illustration always been your thing?Yeah well I really like to draw as a kid, I’d always be doodling dragons and dinosaurs and Star Wars characters, things like that. I tended to doodle quite a lot all throughout my education. And I didn’t really see myself doing anything else once I left school. How do create your illustration, do you have a medium that you stick to? I really like to work in ink on paper, but

I’ve been recently experimenting with some digital manipulation. I like to take the line drawings and recolour them in photoshop, and play around with overlapping colours. But I’ll probably get bored of that soon Where do you go to for inspiration? I read a lot of comic books, and spend probably an unhealthy amount of time looking at other illustrator’s stuff on the internet.What are you listening to? Summer Feeling by the Eversons. What are you reading? The End of Oil by Paul Roberts. A perfect day off? I think it would have to be lounging around at home, right after I’ve handed in my final uni assignment. Calum wears hoodie by Odd Sock Gang.
