How Sobriety Unlocked His Career: Philip Barantini

Philip Barantini moved to London at 17. He was on Dream Team, then Band of Brothers as the youngest cast member, then Ned Kelly. He had free Soho House membership, a driver, and a 5am bedtime. Then the work fizzled out and the anger came in. He spent the next decade in restaurant kitchens drinking red wine out of coffee cups during service.

In this conversation with Sober Dave, Philip walks back through the whole arc. The mum who poured her vodkas with him at the bar when he was ten. The audition years where he thought he was untouchable. The wife who packed up and left after six months of marriage. The morning something in his brain just switched, the one-on-one counsellor who helped him stay sober, and then the loss that opened the door to everything since: directing Villain with Craig Fairbrass, then Boiling Point with Stephen Graham, then his production company Three Little Birds Pictures, named after his late mum's favourite song.
