BAFTA has launched a new streaming series, BAFTA Playback, sponsored by Samsung, that brings some of Hollywood’s biggest names face-to-face with the moments that defined their craft.
The six-part series, available on BAFTA’s YouTube channel, offers viewers a rare opportunity to see celebrated actors revisit scenes from their careers, discussing the creative choices, influences and inspirations behind their most memorable performances.
In the most recent episode, Colin Farrell, in a relaxed, lounge-style setting, surrounded by memorabilia from his career, reflects on a selection of clips he personally curated, offering insights into the roles that shaped his journey.

With Samsung’s picture quality, our screens become the stage where some of the world’s most celebrated actors bring their stories to life.”
