Ryan Corr ‘I've always thought it should cost me something’

Ryan Corr is one of Australia’s most acclaimed actors, known for his raw talent, versatility, and fearless performances across film, television, and theatre. From his breakout roles in Packed to the Rafters and Holding the Man, to international acclaim in House of the Dragon, The Water Diviner, Wolf Creek 2, and Netflix’s Heartbreak High, Ryan has built a career defined by authenticity and emotional depth. Now starring in the powerful new film Kangaroo, he continues to bring humanity and vulnerability to every role while remaining deeply committed to truth-telling through art.

In this first ever podcast appearance, Ryan reflects on balancing creativity and self-care, and the grounding role of therapy and family. Together, Jess and Ryan explore the healing power of storytelling, the responsibilities of being a creative voice, and how films can help us navigate love, loss, and resilience. This is a conversation about artistry, purpose, and what it means to act with truth at the centre.
