Patrick Brammall

Patrick Bramall is one of those actors Australians feel like they know.

For more than two decades, he's been a familiar presence on our screens, building a career that's been steady, respected and quietly impressive.

But in the last few years, something has shifted.

Alongside his wife, actor and writer Harriet Dyer, he co-created and starred in Colin from Accounts, a show that started as a very specific, very Australian story and quickly became a global hit.

Offscreen, their lives are just as intertwined.

They write together, act together and are raising a young family.

Patrick Bramall is on the cusp of something bigger again.

He's just been introduced to a global audience in a very different way, starring as the new love interest opposite Anne Hathaway in the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a film with a legacy, a fan base and a cultural footprint that's hard to overstate.

This conversation was recorded the day before the film was released, before the reviews, before the reaction, before the moment where everything potentially changes.

So today, we wanted to understand who Patrick Bramall really is, the road that got him here, the life he's built along the way, and what it feels like to be standing on the edge of something that could change everything.

I'm Kate Langbrook from No Filter.

Well, I have.

You are from No Filter.

And not only that, you're now from the world.

You were always from the world.

But there's something about Australians, and I think when you work in a creative endeavour on any front, that we know that we are, depending on your world view, at the bottom of the globe.

Yeah.

Yep.

And now you are not on the bottom of the globe.

You really are.
