Ep23: Sliding Doors with Eleanor Matsuura

Eleanor Matsuura is an English actress best known for her roles in The Walking Dead (Yumiko), Spooks: The Greater Good and Into the Badlands. She was born in Tokyo and raised in Hertfordshire and now lives with her husband and daughter in Atlanta. Graduating from the Central School of Speech & Drama, Eleanor has worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company and performed on stage at the Royal Court Theatre, the Old Vic and several West End theatres.In this episode we delve into Eleanor's Sliding Doors moments. We chat all about the decision she was presented with when her dream of being a TV presenter was offered to her at the same time she got into drama school. She discusses how life and experiences are all about timing and happen when they are meant to be. They say that when you stop looking things come to you, and this couldn't be truer for Eleanor after she took the plunge to book her ticket to go travelling to Australia- then everything changed! She speaks openly and honestly about being a hard-working mum and actress and how she makes her life work for her and her family....and how we should never let our perceptions hold us back!@slidingdoorspod Hosted by: @jenbecks28 Guest: @eleanormatsuura Hosted on Acast.

Have you ever had a Sliding Doors Moment - a decision or opportunity that could have gone either way that leads to two very different futures?I’m Jennie Becker and I’m fascinated by ‘what if’ moments - what they look like, what we can learn from them - and how we can begin to embrace them.Four years ago I had my very own Sliding Doors Moment when I decided to start this podcast. Since then I’ve been on an incredible journey helping guests join the dots on the small decisions or moments that made a big difference and built the path of their lives.From Olympians to Presenters, Actors to Entrepreneurs (and even the cast of the 90s hit movie!), each episode I get to meet amazing people and ask them what could have been, if they’d chosen differently… Hosted on Acast.
