Michael Sheen
Peter Hain and Dafydd Wigley discuss community, activism, acting and turning his back on Hollywood with Port Talbot boy Michael Sheen.
Will Michael Sheen turn his back on Hollywood to concentrate of community activism in his home town of Port Talbot? This is just one of the questions posed by the Peers Peter Hain and Dafydd Wigley when the award-winning actor became their third guest in this series of Hain and Wigley.
And you could forgive Lord Hain for having been a bit sheepish during the interview - because one of Sheen's biggest roles was playing Hain's old boss Tony Blair in a series of TV and cinema films.
But given that they describe Sheen as one of Wales's greatest cultural icons, Hain and Wigley were keen to invite him onto the show to discuss his work on stage and screen. But they also wanted to explore his political and social views which he has been expressing in a series of lectures and interviews.
As Dafydd Wigley says: "What is remarkable about Michael Sheen is that while he has been lauded the world over, he has remained true to his roots.".
