Silent Witness at 30 – Revisiting our interview with Amanda Burton: ‘I don’t suffer fools gladly’

I’m not easily shocked, but I’m genuinely surprised to see such a reserved actress in a film that opens with explicit outdoor love scenes. It’s a huge departure from her wholesome roles in shows like Peak Practice. I’m currently playing her mother and offering her tea – we’re filming in a comfortable hotel room in Chelsea Harbour – as she considers how to explain it.

How Sterling K. Brown’s Kids Feel About Seeing Him on Billboards

Okay, so you won’t BELIEVE this! I’m, like, totally obsessed with this actor, and apparently, even his own kids aren’t impressed! His sons, Andrew, who’s fourteen, and Amaré, who’s ten – he has them with his wife, Ryan Michelle Bathe, who is amazing, by the way – they just don’t even care when they see him on huge billboards all over the place! Can you imagine?! It’s hilarious and a little heartbreaking, honestly. They’re so used to him being, well, him, I guess! It just proves how down-to-earth he is, even if it makes a fangirl like me a little jealous.
