About this listen
This interview is with Ashton James, the lead in ‘Youngblood’, a Canadian remake of the ‘80s sports drama of the same name.
This new iteration follows a junior hockey player with newfound hope of being drafted by the NHL after getting an opportunity to join the Hamilton Mustangs. But the path to pursuing his dreams comes with its challenges. In order to make it, Dean must come to terms with his uncontrolled anger, his complex relationship with his single father, and learn how to be a team player on the ice.
In my conversation with Ashton, you’ll learn more about what drew him to playing Dean, how the film changed overtime, his intense hockey training in preparation for the role, and his desire to give a nuanced perspective on father-son relationships in a sports context.
