Agent 47 Speaks! An Interview With David Bateson

Retroplayer- Tell us a little about yourself, David.

David- Born of British parents in South Africa and moving backwards and forwards between the two countries – I think we moved 13 times and 9 schools – made me a little confused as to my identity for a while there! Found myself always secretly fearing being “revealed as some kind of phoney” with a sense of not quite belonging. A really good acting exercise, I can tell you, and one which made entering that profession real obvious… I used to honestly say to whoever – that there were only two places where I truly knew what I was doing: on the stage and on the toilet! The rest of the time I was either lost in a day dream or faking it. I am not that person now.
