PODCAST: Jamie Bartlett's parting words on his exit from 'Rhythm City' | IOL Entertainment

On Wednesday night, South Africans bid a tearful goodbye to one of their favourite villains - David Genaro - on e.tv’s "Rhythm City".

Today, Jamie Bartlett popped by our offices to chat about inhabiting this iconic character for close on 13 years. “He is like a Greco-Roman classical character. And, in order to play him , and, at times, in the plea of him and in the defense of the character, wedging my toe into the corner of the shower to get some purchase on him in play, I’ve had to go see a doctor at times because it is just too overwhelming to shoot…,” he shared.

Bartlett added: “He’s not a casual guy. He doesn’t come in and say, ‘Did you put the toothpaste somewhere because I can’t find it? Is it in the toiletry bag?’ He’s not that guy. He’s always incredibly and insanely intense and that is the way he is writ and those are the stories with which he breathes and sort of ambles and walks.”

I’ve interviewed Bartlett numerous times over the years. Every time I do, I am left in complete awe by the poetic summation of his craft.
