What This Actor Learned About Success, Ego & What Really Matters - with Richard Roxburgh

What does it really take to build a lasting career in one of the most cutthroat industries in the world?

Richard Roxburgh has starred in iconic films like Elvis, Moulin Rouge, and The Great Gatsby. But beyond the fame and red carpets is a man who’s spent decades quietly mastering his craft, while working alongside the biggest names in the business.

In this revealing conversation, Richard joins Sarah Grynberg to reflect on the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hard-won wisdom of life in front of (and behind) the camera. He opens up about working with Cate Blanchett, taking creative leaps with Baz Luhrmann, and his powerful new film The Correspondent, which explores the personal cost of truth-telling in a noisy world.

You’ll learn:

• What it’s really like working with Cate Blanchett and Baz Luhrmann
• How to chase a dream when the odds are stacked against you
• The tools Richard uses to stay grounded in an industry built on ego
• Why success doesn’t always look (or feel) the way you think it will
• What deep, lasting creativity actually requires — and how to protect it

If you’ve ever felt burnt out, unsure of your path, or pressured to keep achieving, this episode will show you how to keep going without losing yourself. It’s a masterclass in staying grounded, navigating ambition, and living with purpose.

This conversation will leave a mark, in all the best ways.
