As a classically trained British actress (a graduate of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and a National Theatre alum) and a major American TV star (playing the much-loved Dr Brown in “The Good Doctor”), she’s seen it all! Plus, get ready for a barrel of laughs as Antonia shares the mic with Lucy Eaton.
