Michael Sheen - Actor and Activist
Known around the world for his work in theatre and on screen, actor Michael Sheen is now immersed in tackling the problems of poverty and homelessness that face his hometown of Port Talbot in Wales.
In a special edition of HARDtalk, Sarah Montague speaks to actor and activist Michael Sheen.

But it was acting that also brought him back there, where he’s now immersed in tackling some of the problems that face a poor community: poverty, debt and homelessness. How does he straddle such contrasting worlds?
