Great Company with Jamie Laing · DANIEL MAYS: I've Worked with Hollywood’s Biggest Stars But I Still Sometimes Feel Like an Imposter · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

I just go to, you know, like a granddad I've loved who's passed away or, you know, various stuff that's happened.

And you just sort of, it's like hypnotizing yourself or getting yourself into that headspace.

Yeah.

And then basically you've got that on a low light.

You've got that emotion running in through you.

I mean, I have to do it that way.

Some actors can just turn tears and emotion on like a tap.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

I have to sort of really get into it.

And so then you're called to set and then you have to sort of use that emotion, but obviously fuel that into the dialogue that you're coming out with in the scene.

So it's a mixture of those two things.

It's about technique.

It's about using your craft and technique as an actor to serve what the writing is trying to give you.

Yeah, well, there was...

We had intimacy coordinators on this job, which I'd never worked with before because when I was doing those types of scenes that they weren't about.

But we did have a facility of a counsellor.

And it was in that last week with all the taxi scenes.

And again, I was like, I don't need to talk to a counsellor.
