actor travis jeffery | 22

Travis Jeffery joins Takaya Honda for a raw, funny and deeply honest conversation about acting, ambition, grief, body transformation and learning that “making it” does not mean losing yourself. Best known for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, Unbroken, Pirates of the Caribbean and Gallipoli, Travis reflects on dream jobs, self-worth, motion capture, pottery, Australian film and building a life beyond the next role. What we get into: * Travis’s new film Birthright and why it is such a wild, timely Australian dark comedy. * Working on huge productions including Unbroken, Pirates of the Caribbean and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. * The physical toll of transforming for roles, from losing weight for Unbroken to getting ripped for Birthright. * Writing and starring in Dusty, and how personal grief became the seed of the short film. * Losing someone young, guilt, numbing, and the self-destructive ways grief can show up. * Why friendship grief is often overlooked. * The “arrival fallacy” and why dream jobs do not magically make you feel complete. * Working with Andy Serkis and learning how to move like a chimpanzee.
