I'm part of a team that is making a series of short docs for BBC Three. An example of one we made last year is here -

For this one we're looking for DOCTORS - particularly doctors who are confident, funny, and keen to be on camera. Realise this is a website for film professionals but thought that there may be some budding actors on here that might have previously been doctors, or even people who have interviewed doctors before that can suggest people or places, or make recommendations. Any help will be hugely appreciated!
For more info, check out our wordpress page about the project - https://longstoryshortsblog.wordpress.com/
Mainly we want to hear about what it's like being a doctor - best bits, worst bits, weirdest bits, reasons doctors leave the NHS, reasons for becoming a doctor - everything!
Thanks very much in advance :)

You could always wait for the next Junior Doctor's strike, and do some vox pop on the picket line. It's amazing how animated, and confident people are when they're part of organised action. You can even select from the group for future use as it's as if you've got a ready made audition.
Kind Regards

Thanks Mat! Very good idea, but for this one we're only filming in studio. The ready made audition part is interesting though :) Thanks very much for your help!

I know a doctor turned actor, Anthony Metcalfe. I will email him if you can send me your email and let him decide if he wants to contact you.
