Joel Edgerton stars in the new Netflix film Train Dreams, delivering a moving and memorable performance.

In this conversation, Edgerton explores his personal connection to the film’s story and character, discussing how director Clint Bentley’s adaptation was able to “crack the safe” and bring the project to life.

The actor also reflects on the meaningful advice his father gave him about chasing his dreams, what he hopes to see flourish in the Australian film industry, and the unexpected delight of hearing which of his films resonate most with fans — from Kinky Boots to Star Wars.
