Mad Max, X-Men, and Finding Himself on Stage | Josh Helman — Death of a Salesman Lead Actor
Andrew sits down with Josh Helman — known for Mad Max: Fury Road and Furiosa, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and The Pacific — ahead of his return to the stage as Biff Loman in Death of a Salesman, opposite Anthony LaPaglia. Josh talks candidly about what draws him to playing morally complex characters, the surreal moment Tom Hanks addressed his cast deep in the jungle during boot camp for The Pacific, and the years of rejection, self-doubt and parking-lot tears that came with chasing work in Hollywood. They also dig into what it means to step onto an Australian stage for the first time in his career, why Arthur Miller's 75-year-old play still lands like a gut-punch in 2026, and the difference between being liked and being valued — both on stage and in an industry increasingly built around social media.
