I feel like Ive finally got out of my own way, says theUnder The Banner Of Heavenstar.
Crucially, the series U.K. debut comes weeks after the U.S.Supreme Courts landmark decision to overturnRoe v. Wade.
Hes such a fantastic actor and just a really nice person.
It was lovely working with Daisy, too, she adds.
We were all filming in Calgary for six months and got to know each other pretty well.
Portraying some of the darker stuff can get quite heavy, and we all supported each other through that.
Pirrie portrays the vulnerable character ofMatilda Lafferty, who married into the Mormon church as a total outsider.
Matildas mysterious nature is what initially drew Pirrie to the series, she tells me.
Reading the script, she was quite hard to pin down.
I found her fascinating.
Even though the genre can be so dark and upsetting, Im a bigtrue crimefan.
Knowledge is power, after all.
Its all about the script, she explains.
This approach has served Pirrie well throughout her acting career, which she began pursuing at a young age.
Moments like that were when I knew I had a spark for it.
Pirries very first big-screen role back in 2012 remains seminal.
Working onShellwas such an education for me, she recalls fondly.
The priorities of those projects can be so very different.
Looking to the future, Pirrie has ambitions of working behind the camera.
What stories would she like to tell, I ask?
I would love to work with those who have inspired me through my career, though.
People likeViola Davis,Samantha Morton, andCharlotte Rampling, she reels off excitedly.
Im also greatly inspired by filmmakers such asClio BarnardandShane Meadows.
Sitting at the top of her list, however, isUnder the Banner of Heavendirector David Mackenzie.
Hopefully, we can work together again on something down the line.
Under the Banner of Heavenis now available to stream on Disney+ U.K.
