From Audiobooks to ‘A Murder at the End of the World’, Actor Edoardo Ballerini Says Collaboration Is Key

In TheWrap’s Bold Steps, presented by Johnnie Walker, the actor explains how the actors’ strike underlined the collaborative nature of the industry

When it came time to cast an AI in the FX murder mystery series “A Murder at the End of the World,” show creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij turned to a familiar voice: Edoardo Ballerini. While the name may not be immediately recognizable, you’ve no doubt heard Ballerini before – he’s an award-winning audiobook narrator whose work ranges from “War and Peace” to “Metamorphosis” to the Hebrew Bible.

“I started out wanting to be a writer,” Ballerini told TheWrap as part of the video series Bold Steps, presented by Johnnie Walker. “Then as I started watching plays, and I started watching films, I realized I wanted to be a part of this world where I could work with directors, I could work with screenwriters, I could work with costume designers, I could work with makeup artists.”
