He also directed half the episodes of <i>Creisis\/Crisis<\/i>, a great emotional drama about mental health, and is one of the directors on the upcoming series <i>Still Waters<\/i>. On screen, he gave an absolutely devastating performance as the lead antagonist in the final season of the must-see crime noir drama <i>Craith\/Hidden<\/i> and was wonderful in the psychological thriller <i>Bregus<\/i> as well as many other series. In addition, he is an accomplished theatre actor, with recent credits including Oberon in an epic bilingual production of <i>A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream<\/i> a few years back. I&#8217;ve really enjoyed his work over the years, and it was thrilling speaking with him in depth about the Welsh entertainment industry and the use of Welsh in mainstream media.<\/p>\n<h6>Cleddau \/ The One That Got Away<\/h6>\n<p>Trailer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gr1VsaSK6Fk\" target=\"_blank\">Welsh<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9oy5gx7tSRA\" target=\"_blank\">English<\/a><br \/>\nStreaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-One-That-Got-Away\/dp\/B0F252FQ2J\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/acorn.tv\/onethatgotaway\/\">Acorn TV<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tv.apple.com\/gb\/show\/the-one-that-got-away\/umc.cmc.1vrvb1em4qm1ge8j0wup8svi5\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/iview.abc.net.au\/show\/one-that-got-away\" target=\"_blank\">ABC iview<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h6>Craith \/ Hidden &#8211; Season 3<\/h6>\n<p>Trailer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VXQDkQ05AVM\" target=\"_blank\">Welsh<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D7pI5QsSr3Q\" target=\"_blank\">Bilingual<\/a><br \/>\nStreaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hidden\/dp\/B0DMT8VDBP\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/acorn.tv\/hidden\/\" target=\"_blank\">Acorn TV<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tv.apple.com\/us\/show\/hidden\/umc.cmc.mr2tdlpei8t85hebll0ic9oq\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h6>Creisis \/ Crisis<\/h6>\n<p>Trailer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nUSMNpY-ijQ\" target=\"_blank\">Welsh<\/a><br \/>\nStreaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episodes\/p0hjhs2q\/creisis\" target=\"_blank\">BBC iplayer<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<h6>Merched Parchus<\/h6>\n<p>Streaming: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLMUgzTukecfMW59DKnWGTZcQrNfKLEgDB&#038;si=QazBzlNtOZc7ePgz\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor\/director Sion Ifan on the importance of Welsh language productions, the draw of crime series, and stepping behind the camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":501,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actors","category-directors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=496"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1313,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/496\/revisions\/1313"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jaggededgearts.com\/artofimagination\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
