Jemma Moore, the 28-year-old Hong Kong born actor, has announced a second season of her podcast The HobbyCast.
The soon to be released podcast has two new co-hosts Amer Chadha Patel (The Third Day, Flack, The Windsors, Year of the Rabbit, Beecham House) and Carla McGlynn (Zombie Bashers, The Guards).
Speaking about the podcast, Jemma Moore says: “I started The HobbyCast because I have always loved talking to new people of any age – from kids of my friends to old ladies sitting in cafes.
“I ask them what they loved to do, for me it was pure childlike joy for their hobbies, to see them engage in the moment and allow them that precious ‘me time’. Sometimes these would be heart-warming and humble activities and others would be wild, exciting and unheard of!
“We live in a fast-paced world and it’s easy to forget that it’s ok just to do something for enjoyment”
Earlier this year, Jemma played the role of Li in Tony Giglio’s ‘Doom: Annihilation’ for Universal (now on Netflix and Amazon). She also stars in Rob Savages ‘Host’, a new kind of horror movie on AMC Networks streaming service Shudder, that premieres on 30th July.
The film was shot during quarantine at the actors’ homes and adheres to social distancing rules with inventive ways to deliver the scares, stunts and surprises.
Last year Jemma appeared as Rose Lin in the second season of BBC1’s Shakespeare & Hathaway’. She has featured in Warner Brothers production of ‘Wonder Woman’, in Richard Ayoade’s ‘The Double’ and Zawe Ashton’s ‘The Place We Go To Hide’.
She recently set up a production company with fellow actor Caroline Ward – It Girls Productions that values a film culture that’s sincere and honest when delivering diversity and equitable practices.
Jemma, who lives with dyslexia, moved from Hong Kong at the age of 3 and grew up on a farm in Herefordshire.
From an early age she rode horses and competed in show jumping and eventing which she loved. At school, weirdly she used to walk pigs and take them to county shows! Prior to acting in her early teens, she was scouted to be a model and made several commercials.
The HobbyCast explores the wonderful world of hobbies. In each episode Jemma with the help of a cohost(s) delves in to the who, what, why and how of a hobby connoisseur.
Series one covered such pursuits as Quidditch, Dungeons & Dragons, Escape Rooms and more. The date for the release of series two is due to be announced soon.
