On #BBC iplayer

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001pvly/tommy-jessop-goes-to-hollywood

Co-created and filmed by Tommy with his brother #Will Jessop for BBC One, screened at #BAFTA, and now on #BBC iplayer.

There are not enough exciting roles in film for people like me so I decided to write something myself.

Thank you to #Kit Harrington, https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/documentaries/tommy-jessop-kit-harington-audition-superhero-movie-newsupdate/#Will Sharpe,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi6U3qTB1w8 , #Zac Gottsagen for your advice and for reading with me, and to everyone in #Hollywood for your advice and encouragement and to the #stuntmen for a brilliant day. Being chased by you and your guns through the wood and finally facing you all down using the super powers of Roger my #Superhero was truly wicked.
