Chicken Soap for the Soul with Elisabeth Dermot Walsh and Special Guest Daniel MillarThis week on Chicken Soap for the Soul, Elisabeth is joined by the charming and multilingual Daniel Millar - actor, incidental Johnny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch assailant, and a man who's been mistaken more than once for at least two other actors with near-identical names.Daniel has appeared in a dozen Shakespeare productions, trod the boards at the RSC, and regularly pops up on our screens - including on EastEnders, Holby City, and Doctors, where he somehow managed to play four completely different characters.In this episode, Daniel shares his journey from studying languages to falling in love with theatre, the nerve-wracking (and character-building) experience of filming a 14-hour day for a single line of dialogue, and how persistence - including hand-written letters - got him his first part. He and Elisabeth also talk about the differences between acting on stage and on screen, and the lessons only experience can teach.Daniel stars in the sparkling revival of Somerset Maugham’s witty and subversive comedy, The Constant Wife. It’s on at the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, from 19 June to 2 August 2025. Tickets and more information available at rsc.org.uk.New CSFTS News!
