Danny Dyer’s career has been nothing if not eclectic, beginning his career under the guidance of playwright Harold Pinter. His breakout role in Human Traffic catapulted him into the limelight, making him the poster boy for youthful hedonism in the early 2000s. Dyer’s subsequent role as landlord Mick Carter in EastEnders has secured him nationaltreasure status. Acting Hard season curator Nia Childs chats with him about his wideranging career.

This event was part of the BFI's Acting Hard season, which explored representations of workingclass masculinity in British cinema from the Thatcher era to the present day.
