Claudia Karvan: Bump - Actor

TV and Film actress 'Claudia Karvan' joins me to discuss the new 'Stan' original series 'Bump.' Plus we look back at some of her most iconic performances.

Claudia started as a child actor working with the likes of 'Gary Mcdonald' and 'Judy Davis.' Growing up in front of the cameras 'Karvan' became a household staring with memorable films like 'Big Steel' and the 'Heartbreak Kid' but it was a bold move to work in Television as doctor 'Alex Christianson' in 'Secret Life Of Us' (2001) that made the biggest impact on her career. 

The series was a huge hit for 'Network Ten' and the chemistry between the cast was electric. Particularly 'Deborah Mailman' and 'Samual Johnson.'

It was a great turn of events professionally because the series (Secret Life) had a string of widely successful creators behind the scenes. Acting with brilliant scripts written by 'Judi McCrossin' and 'Christopher Lee' and for the first time working with long time collaborator 'John Edwards' A genius in storytelling and producing.   

'In 2003 'John Edwards' encouraged 'Claudia Karvan' to work as a director and producer and in 2014 they both collaborated on 'Love My Way.' Which was an award winning series for 'Foxtel' that wowed audiences and still has a massive cult following. (Even though they only did three seasons.) That series is one of the most powerful TV shows I have ever seen. Which saw her acting alongside 'Dan Wyille,' Brendan Cowell' and 'Asher Keddie.'  

With shows like 'Time of our Lives,' 'Puberty Blues,' 'The Other Guy' and 'Spirited' we have been gifted a catalogue of characters. 

We will talk about all these iconic shows, we will get a back stage pass to reasons and rationals of her most legendary performances.

The new Series 'Bump' is currently on 'Stan Australia' which in my opinion is the best series yet. Claudia is currently in the writers room constructing a fourth season of 'Bump.'
