On the Empire Podcast this week, we welcome two actors, each with interesting and challenging CVs, and each with interesting and challenging-to-spell names.

First up, Jake Gyllenhaal stops by the pod booth to talk Nocturnal Animals, Donnie Darko, and the thought process behind his consistently surprising career.

Then, we get Mads Mikkelsen – the star of Casino Royale, Hannibal, and this week’s Marvel marvel, Doctor Strange – to talk about appearing in the three biggest movie franchises of all time, and realising his dream of achieving “flying kung-fu”.
