Ryan Hutton is a West End Theatre Star currently playing the role of Rodney Trotter in The Only Fools and Horses Musical.

And this was one of our favourite interviews we've ever done.

We chatted about the show and the immense pressure felt when they decided to turn one of The UK's national treasures into a West End Musical.

Ryan shared what it's like performing in front of comedy legends like Ricky Gervais and working alongside Paul Whitehouse all at the age of just 24.

Ryan told his inspiring story of being a gifted footballer but not quite being able to fulfil his dream and the bitter pill he had to swallow. And how he found acting and the determination he displayed to make it in a very competitive industry.

You'll be inspired as Ryan shares the days of working 4 jobs to pay the rent and even setting up his own theatre company to give himself an opportunity of one day making it. And of course that magic moment when he landed the role as Rodney.

Ryan opened up about the other side of the lights and how he got through performing when he was struggling in his personal life. He told us about the sacrifices he's made, relationships lost and events missed due to his demanding schedule of performing 6 days a week.

On top of all that, Ryan shared incredible wisdom. We talked about why fear holds so many back, taking a leap to follow your dreams and the power of dedication that will lead to success.

You guys are going to love this episode and Ryan's relatable, charming and hilarious personality.
