Agnes O’Casey: From Stage to Spy

Agnes O’Casey is dominating the screen with her role as a Soviet KGB agent in Apple TV’s Star City, a spin-off of For All Mankind, while also preparing for a new BBC spy drama. She’s learning to say no to projects, embracing downtime with walks, books, and podcasts. With Lithuanian roots and filming in Lithuania, she’s drawn to the cultural connection—even missing passport eligibility by just one generation. Transitioning from stage to screen, she’s reprised her role as Liz Gold in both adaptations of Le Carré’s The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, saying she’s deeply prepared after living with the character. Dyslexic and inspired by her great-grandfather’s legacy, she studied at The Lir Academy in Dublin and encourages aspiring actors to savor auditions and accept that not every role is right for them.
