S7 Ep1: From Bristol to Broadchurch Actor: Joe Sims

Joe Sims grew up in Bristol in a home which - in his words - may not have had lots of cash but was filled with love. Thanks to his passion, hard work, a brilliant teacher at school and the support of his parents - Joe has gone on be an award-winning actor. He’s now on the board of The Bristol Old Vic, has appeared in many shows including Dr Who and the BAFTA winning Broadchurch – and he now has his own production company celebrating the talent of Bristol on and off screen. In this conversation Joe talks about standing up to bullies, why charity for him always begins at home and how his whole life is a love letter to Bristol – the city where he still lives. Joe’s enthusiasm is infectious, he’s full of so much hope and is so humble despite his incredible success. He’s such an example of how to tackle Next Chapters  – and yes – he’s even met Basil Brush.
