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

And it was Julia Cramsey was the casting director.

And it was four episodes.

And there I was, my first professional scene coming out of drama school was with Tamsin Alfway in The Queen Vic.

It's just surreal, you know.

but i was like i didn't want to get typecast you know i didn't want to get bogged down in that you knew that from a very early like age so you did you from when you first started you're like i don't want to be typecast i don't want to yeah yeah and then like julia crampsy then got me my next job which was like a neo-nazi bomber on this thing called in deep with nick berry and steve tomkinson and i was like i don't want to be typecast i don't want to be typecast

Yeah.

But she was great.

I mean, God, I owe so much to Julia Cramsey.

I mean, where would I be without her?

She was amazing.

So she saw something in me.

That's what you need.

Like young actors always say, you've got to get casting directors on your side.

Get someone fighting in your corner that believes in you and it all starts to happen.

Um...

They just sort of circle around you.

I did three years at drama school, and it's like you never know who's sort of watching you.

There'll be a producer or a director or a cast director that's seen you in a production, or you just...

you've always got to have that mentality that, you know, every job is worthwhile.

Give it 110% with everything you do and work will breed work.
