The show has an incredible cast, starring everyone from Sally Hawkins to James Corden – and even a cameo from Tom Jones! What was it like to work with so many British icons?

It was incredible. Although I’m from the US, I studied drama in the UK and spent years learning about all of these people, hoping that one day I might come within a few metres of their presence. Working with them was dreamy – I’m still pinching myself, to be honest. I had some particularly lovely moments with Sally [Hawkins] where she really supported me. I missed Tom Jones, though! We shot Mammals during the pandemic and I was in quarantine when he was filming so I didn’t get to meet him – I was gutted. But the general theme was a lot of admiration; I was in awe of everyone.
