The Bill Podcast 132: Brian Bovell (DC Rob Thatcher) Part 1
THATCHER'S BACK! The mighty Brian Bovell makes his debut on The Bill Podcast, reunited with Natalie for the first time in 20 years.
Brian is literally one of the busiest actors in the country, he's already notched up 25 screen roles this decade alone! Natalie asks Brian about joining the "Star Wars" universe for his recent role in "Andor". A true science fiction fan, Brian also talks about working on David S. Goyer's "Foundation" and pays tribute to the late great "Star Trek" legend Nichelle Nichols.
Then we go back in time to Brian's childhood, his breakthrough roles in the feature film "Babylon" and starring alongside Gary Olsen in the cult comedy drama "Prospects" and reveals why there wasn't a second season...
There's lots of "The Bill" chat to follow, though for now, sit back, relax and enjoy getting to know one of our finest actors and a true gentleman.
