WILOSOPHY: Cameron James is Giving Up on Being the ”Cool Guy”

Wil sits down with comedian, writer, and actor Cameron James fresh off the wrap party for Gruen.

Dusty, and fuelled by vanilla coke and salad sandwiches they navigate their hangovers to dive deep into the craft of acting, sharing how a secret exercise trick from Nash Edgerton unlocked a character for a big audition, and what it’s really like starring alongside Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan in Bad Company.

Cameron opens up about letting go of the need to be "the cool guy" on stage, embracing vulnerability, and finding power in weaponisng his own insecurities.

Plus, Wil reflects on how his time on Taskmaster reconnected him with pure silliness, and the pair unpack everything from streaming glitches and 15 years of free Stan to nonna pasta recipes and the genius of live performance.
