Actor and musician Ian Roberts is something of a South African icon, renowned for his roles as the rugged Boer fighter Sloet Steenkamp in the TV series Arende and as Boet in the immortal and immensely popular Castrol advertisements.

His book, Nomad Heart, offers a highly entertaining glimpse of how actors make the magic happen, whether on a theatre stage or before the TV cameras.

In this episode of Pagecast, Ian is in conversation with the Books Editor at Netwerk24, Jo Prins.
