Larry Lamb: Damaged people are dangerous because they know they can survive

Known to millions as Mick Shipman in Gavin & Stacey and
Archie Mitchell in EastEnders, Larry Lamb has lived a life far
more complex than any character he’s played. From a fractured
childhood in postwar London, to becoming one of Britain’s most
familiar faces- his story is one of survival, resilience and
transformation.


In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O’Brien sits down with
Larry to explore the lesser-known journey behind the fame. Larry
speaks candidly about the trauma of growing up with an abusive
father and shares the unexpected twists that took him from oil
rigs and sales jobs to amateur theatre and eventual stardom.


Moving, measured, and full of reflection, this conversation
offers a rare window into how we carry our past, and how it can
shape- without defining- the people we become.
