In today’s episode I talk to actor and producer Mem Ferda.
Mem is an Acclaimed and Celebrated British Screen Star and International Award Winning Film Producer.
He studied at the prestigious acting schools LAMDA and RADA which led him to lead an
impressive career as an actor and producer.
His work spans worldwide especially across Europe, Asia and the US.
Mem's versatility and presence on screen has seen him star alongside Hollywood 'A' Lister's.
Equally comfortable as hero or villain, he has worked with Ray Liotta and Jason Statham in Guy Ritchie's Revolver, alongside Idris Elba in Legacy as well as staring in a lead in Nicolas Winding Refn's remake of the cult film Pusher. He later appeared with Drew Barrymore and Toni Collette in Miss You Already.
He has landed lead roles in films of which include, Hard Tide, Smoking Guns and London Heist amongst too many others.
Mem's real life background, is as colourful, as some of the characters he has played.
As a child he witnessed an assassination attempt on his father, as a student he was held at the Serbian border as a suspected drug smuggler, and in Istanbul he was threatened at gunpoint.
During his rebellious teens, he narrowly avoided being the getaway driver in a real life heist.
He is now set for headlining in two exciting thrillers as a leading man, Jailbird, to be directed by Multi-BAFTA winning Director David Blair and the Gunfather Trilogy.
We talk about the real person behind the actor, where Mem, with soul and compassion, shares what is important to him and precious fragments of his own life lessons which he has learned along the way.
A sincere and at times heart rendering talk that reminds us that we should do what we can while life allows it, never leaving for tomorrow what can be done today.
Mem through his own story, gives us the chance to contemplate what is it that really matters and reminds us that we should embrace our life with gratitude and joy in every moment.
