In this episode, Adam sits down with the incredibly talented (and ridiculously humble) British actor Finn Cole—best known for his standout roles in Peaky Blinders as Michael Gray and Animal Kingdom as J Cody. But now, he’s front and center in a brand-new thriller that’s got people talking: Last Breath, in theaters now, where he stars alongside Simu Liu and Woody Harrelson in a high-stakes, claustrophobic deep-sea survival drama based on a true story.

Adam and Finn dive into what it takes—mentally and physically—to perform underwater, how to act with only your eyes behind a saturation diving helmet, and what Finn learned from sharing the screen with some of Hollywood’s best. Plus, Adam puts this Londoner’s California accent to the test and finds out what Americans sound like… to the Brits.

It’s a smart, charming, and refreshingly honest convo about storytelling, taking big swings, and why sometimes failing forward is the best kind of growth.
