Cassidy, G and Knox, S (2019) 'An actor diversifies: a diachronic examination of the work and career of Tony Curran.' In: Fife Donaldson, L and Walters, J, eds. Television performance. Red Globe Press, London, pp. 168-187. ISBN 9781137608192

Abstract

This chapter examines the work and working practices of Tony Curran, an actor we consider to have noteworthy versatility. Focusing on his career in television across a number of projects, contexts and years, our argument is that Curran’s versatility involves a number of factors, both within and exceeding his creative agency. These include confidence and creative risk-taking, an emphasis on acting as a craft that requires discipline, preparation and attention to the methods of production and exhibition, as well as awareness of the social culture within which the careers of actors are located.
