Actor who provides quality commentary and insight into movies, culture & the arts on X with his handle, @TheMonologist
This week, Ira spoke with actor Michael Warburton, who provides quality commentary and insight into movies, culture & the arts on X with his handle, @TheMonologist. In this curated episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Michael talks about his acting background, including the stage; why he decided to start this project (during COVID); how he started it as altruistic exercise and eventually asked people to contribute; authentically sharing with people what he likes; his process; why the appreciation of people is rewarding; the validation of his instincts; how he was amazed at the famous people from all walks of life who follow him; planning a podcast based on his postings in 2025; the importance of the legacy element and keeping these artists’ work alive; why more and more people are looking back for quality; and why he won’t pander to his followers.
Michael made his first professional appearance in “Oliver!” in the West End aged 11, followed by two years at the Royal National Theatre in London, eventually going on to train at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. He’s appeared numerous times in the West End – including Ivo van Hove’s Olivier Award winning world premiere of “All About Eve,” the multiple Olivier Award winning Musical on The Kinks – “Sunny Afternoon,” the Netflix movie “The Strays,” and multiple appearances on British TV including most recently “Coronation Street” and “Emmerdale” etc. He has an active Twitter/X feed on Movies, Culture & The Arts in general, has a Substack column on Movies & Actors, and is lining up a Podcast on Movies and Actors for 2025.
