Hello, I'm Lauren Laverne and this is the Desert Island Discs podcast from BBC Radio 4.
Every week I ask my guests to choose the eight tracks, book and luxury, that they'd want to take with them if they were cast away to a desert island.
For right reasons, the music's shorter than on the original broadcast but you can find a version with longer music tracks on BBC's sounds.
Listeners will also get access to episodes 28 days earlier than everyone else.
I hope you enjoy listening.
My cast away this week is the actor Danny Dyer.
He was born and raised in East London, and he wasn't much interested in school, except for Miss Flynn's drama class.
By the time he was 16, he'd become an in-demand teen actor.
His first grown-up role, if you could call it drug-dealing party animal grown-up, was in the film Human Traffic.
A year after its release, he was cast on the London stage by Harold Pinter, someone he describes as a fellow East End geezer and a West Ham fan, who became his mentor and champion.
His work in films such as the Football Factory, Assassin and Vendetta often feature him as a cockney hard man.
His eight-year run as a different kind of Easternder, Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter, earned him three national television awards.
More recently, his portrayal of self-made tech millionaire Freddie Jones in the television adaptation of Jilly Cooper's Rivals brought out his softer side.
Alongside all that, he's won a legion of fans by being himself.
There's no nonsense political commentary has repeatedly gone viral.
He's presented numerous documentaries and his appearance on the genealogy programme, Who Do You Think You Are?, made for a memorable television moment when he discovered he was descended from royalty.
He says, I divide opinion, but I think that's fine.
I struggled with it as a younger actor, and when social media first came around, but I'm absolutely fine with it now.
Danny Dyer, welcome to Desert Island Discs.
It's an honour to be at that opening music.
