Jessica Kingsley sits down to have a deep chat with actor Mohammed Kamel and they soon realise they have a lot more in common than just their noses…

Mohammed reveals that his look haven't held him back; in fact it’s helped him get more castings and land great roles. But why are actors of colour, particularly those of Arabic descent, still so often boxed into stereotypes? As Villains. Terrorists. “The other.” Why can’t they be cast as the hero, the love interest or the comic lead?

They reflect on a time when audiences believed in on-screen pairings like Omar Sharif and Barbra Streisand — complex, charismatic, funny and simply great actors. In a world that calls itself “progressive,” have we actually gone backwards?

Jessica then puts Mo on the spot with The Big Question… and his answer might surprise you.

🎧 Tune in now to hear the full conversation.

About the guest: Mohammed Kamel is best known for his roles in The Crown, Indiana Jones, and Liaison. A former English teacher, his journey into acting began after writing, producing, and directing his short film Honey. His debut book — charting his path from classroom to screen — is set for release soon, alongside a major upcoming project for Amazon Prime Video.

What does a Producer actually do?

Do producers really control casting and do they pick fame over talent? In this episode, Jessica talks to producer Daryl Back to get honest about power, bias, and what it really takes to get cast (including the question: would changing your nose make a difference?).

They dive into how the industry is evolving, why opportunities for older women still lag behind, and Daryl’s mission to open theatre up to underrepresented voices.

Daryl brings decades of experience to the conversation: from performing in the West End to becoming Artistic Director of One From The Heart. She has also produced major pantomimes for Qdos for over 17 years, working with well-known names across UK theatre.

🎭 Listen now as we pull back the curtain on who really calls the shots!
