Robson Green blasts new actors and writers for expecting success without hard work

  • Grantchester and Soldier Soldier star Robson Green has criticised a new generation of actors and writers, claiming many expect fast-tracked success without putting in the necessary hard work.
  • Speaking to The Telegraph , the 61-year-old actor highlighted a generational sense of embittered belief and expressed frustration over actors arriving on set without even knowing their lines.
  • Green, who runs production companies to support creative opportunities in the North East of England, also voiced disappointment at the quality of TV scripts currently being sent to him.
  • He blamed the decline in script quality on a broader lack of investment in the arts, arguing that emerging writers are not receiving the care, attention and nurturing required to produce high-quality work.
  • Despite his concerns about industry standards, Green continues to support regional projects and recently completed filming for the upcoming BBC family drama Northumbria Mysteries , which was shot on location in Northumberland.
