What does it really take to build a lasting career in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world? Richard Roxburgh has starred in iconic films like Elvis, Moulin Rouge, and The Great Gatsby. But beyond the fame and red carpets is a man who's spent decades quietly mastering his craft, while working alongside the biggest names in the business. In this revealing conversation, Richard joins Sarah Grynberg to reflect on the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hard-won wisdom of life in front of (and behind) the camera. He opens up about working with Cate Blanchett, taking creative leaps with Baz Luhrmann, and his powerful new film The Correspondent, which explores the personal cost of truth-telling in a noisy world.
