Creatives on Creatives: Edward Rowe and Dr Kingsley Marshall

Our second episode brings together Edward Rowe and Dr Kingsley Marshall.

Edward Rowe is a Cornish actor, writer and comedian, and one of this year's Honorary Fellows. 

Edward has forged an inspiring career underpinned by humour, authenticity and unwavering hard work. From his breakout comedy alter-ego Kernow King and his beloved roles in Hall for Cornwall's annual pantomime, to his big screen breakthrough in filmmaker Mark Jenkin's BAFTA-winning feature film Bait, Edward has gone on to roles in blockbuster television series The Witcher and House of the Dragon, alongside his scene-stealing voice talents in chart-topping game Elden Ring.  

Recently, Edward sat down with Dr Kingsley Marshall, Head of the School of Film & Television and an established film producer, for a conversation spanning Cornish identity, language and community; the craft of acting, directing and collaboration; and the enduring power of local stories. Along the way, Edward reflects on creative resilience, finding your voice, and why the most important advice for any aspiring creative is simple: just keep going.
