All this week we’re celebrating the arrival of the final season of ‘The Newsreader’ having dropped in Australia, by getting the show’s creator, writer, producer AND Em’s best friend since they were 11, Michael Lucas to chat about it. In an Emsolation exclusive, on Tuesday we gave you our chat with Anna Torv, who plays Helen Norville, today we give you the other half of the ‘The Newsreader’s' dynamic duo, Dale Jennings, aka Sam Reid. Inside Em and Michael chat with Sam about the final season and ask him your questions, covering everything from if Sam realised how beloved the character of Dale would become, right thru to how difficult is it to switch between playing Dale in ‘The Newsreader’ and Lestat in ‘Interview with the Vampire’. Then in our Sealed Section, on our premium service Emsolation Extra Sam gives us the one piece of advice he’d give Dale if he could, plus he answers a stack of your questions about his role on ‘Interview with the Vampire’ too.
