68. Fearlessly Failing: Joel Jackson - From winning a Logie to shooting in Colombia with Daniel Radcliff

<p><strong></strong>What a legend! I could have spent all day talking to this inquisitive, open, honest, intelligent actor, producer, writer, musician, producer. I don’t really know where to start introducing Joel, calling him a high achiever feels like an understatement. He’s won Logie and AACTA awards. Straight out of NIDA he was cast as “Charles Bean” in&nbsp;<em>Deadline Gallipoli</em>&nbsp;literally as the lead. Then came the Peter Allen mini series, and yep he was Peter Allen; he sang, and learnt to dance for the role. He bought tap dancing shoes and tapped in his garage for 2 hours every day. He’s worked alongside some of the greats: Sam Worthington, Charles Dance, Bryan Brown and was in a movie called<em>&nbsp;Jungle</em>&nbsp;with Daniel Radcliff which was filmed in Columbia where he played Marcus; a Swiss-German teacher. I could spend this whole paragraph listing off his credits: H is for Happiness, Safe Harbor, Mystery Road 2, I met a Girl, Ms. Fisher’s Modern Mysteries, the list goes on… He’s also worked in theatre with the Melbourne Theatre Company. He’s got a great (and funny) podcast called “So what do you reckon” this guy doesn’t stop. He’s back on set filming Ms. Fisher’s Modern Mysteries Series 2!</p><p>Joel Jackson is a powerhouse, I can’t wait to watch his career unfold even more, and it was a total honor to chat to this all round legend.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>LINKS:</p><p>Trailer: Jungle:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJYJmYQ0AGw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJYJmYQ0AGw</a></p><p>Trailer: Deadline Gallipoli:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bd_K3Cms-E" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bd_K3Cms-E</a></p><p>Trailer: Peter Allen&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhIbPkU7cPI&amp;t=6s" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhIbPkU7cPI&amp;t=6s</a></p><p>Trailer: H is for Happiness:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjmqCHCdI
