Richard Armitage: The Stories That Help Us Make Sense of Ourselves
Update: 2025-10-18
Description
In this special episode of Confessions of a Book Collector, David sits down with the brilliant actor and author Richard Armitage, a true bibliophile whose life has always been shaped by story.
We talk about his new novel The Cut, and how childhood memories and early experiences helped inspire it. Richard reflects on reading aloud as part of his creative process, the rhythm of language he learned from music and Shakespeare, and the emotional truth he searches for in every line. From The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to Dostoevsky, from The Shining to The Lord of the Rings, this is a conversation about the books that built him.
