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. In Free Spirit he looks back on his long and
illustrious career in which he became known for having a flair for
languages and acting from the gut.
As a boy, young Ian ran wild on his family’s citrus farm in the Eastern
Cape, preferring the company of the local farm boys (and Kees the
baboon). It was here that he first learnt the art of communicating with
an audience through song and story.
A master storyteller with a wicked sense of humour, Ian offers a highly
entertaining glimpse of how actors make the magic happen, whether on a
theatre stage or before the TV cameras. Drawing on a career that runs
from Long Street to Los Angeles, and from
Shakespeare to Tsotsi, Ian provides a masterclass on the art of acting,
making his life story a vital guide to aspiring actors.
His no-nonsense and fearless approach to life means he has never
hesitated to tackle challenging roles and to do things in his own,
unconventional way. Today, as frontman for Die Radio Kalahari Orkes, he
continues to follow his heart.
