A Definitive Ranking of All of Meghan Markle’s Film and Television Roles

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Again, this was an uncredited role, so it’s hard to rank it any higher than this, but good for young Meg for getting cast on this hit series! Back in the ’90s, she was on a very famous TV show, if you will!

25. Kirsten in Anti-Social (2015)

We love to see Markle high up on the call sheet, where she belongs—but even that couldn’t save this frankly awful movie. Important Meg-dating-a-rakish-Brit foreshadowing, though!

24. Teresa Santos on Love, Inc. (2005)

Yet another cute-girl role for Markle (this one is an MTA employee!), but she doesn’t bring quite as much aplomb to it as she does to other examples of the same trope.

23. Sadie Valencia in Good Behavior (2008)

Meh. That’s all I have to say about Markle in this crime-matriarch-goes-straight TV movie. Just…meh.

22. Dana in The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down (2011)

I really wish I had video evidence of Markle as Dana in this odd little TV movie, but trust me, it’s truly too weird to be believed (and not necessarily in a good way).

21. Kelly Calhoun in The Apostles (2008)

Another “no, thanks” TV movie about cops (wow, uncharted territory!), but at least Markle gets more to do in it than she did in The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down.

20. Terry in Dysfunctional Friends (2012)

Once more, no tape to roll, but Markle is criminally underused in this Stacey Dash-led film. She does her best, though!

19. Kat in The Candidate (2010)

Every actor legally has to do at least a few short films for the sake of their capital-A Art, and as this cameo proves, Markle is no exception.

18. Tara on ’Til Death (2008)

Markle deserved better than this mid aughts sitcom (not to be confused with a “mid-aughts sitcom”), but she did reasonably well with her role as a car salesperson nonetheless.

17. Holly Shepard on Without A Trace (2009)

We love Markle on a procedural, don’t we, folks? (Even if it’s just for an episode.)

16. Officer Leah Montoya on CSI: Miami (2010)

Blink and you’ll miss Markle, but there she is! In the middle of a raging fire!

15. Veronica Perez on CSI: NY (2006)

Elsewhere in the CSI-verse, Markle briefly plays a maid with a secret; it’s more territory than she would later get on CSI: Miami, and she makes good use of it.

14. Charlotte on Castle (2012)

Shirley Henderson reveals her secrets behind her iconic roles

Shirley Henderson reveals her secrets behind her iconic roles

by jummy84
written by jummy84

This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine.

In Summerwater, adapted from Sarah Moss’s novel about the British capacity for both cruelty and compassion, Shirley Henderson plays Annie Campbell, a visitor to the lochside holiday cabins that give this tense thriller its title. Geographically, Summerwater is situated in the Highlands; psychologically, it feels a stone’s throw from The Shining’s Overlook Hotel. Henderson doesn’t want to say too much about Annie for fear of spoiling the drama, which she describes as “an investigation of relationships, of memory and of longing”, but she will say that “something’s happening, something’s changing for her, and parts of her are leaving her”.

Locked in a fraught marriage to Dougray Scott’s brittle Dr David Campbell, it may be Annie’s life that leaves her before the series’ end. In episode two, the pair take an ill-advised clifftop walk, during which the good doctor is clearly thinking bad thoughts, though Annie is breezily oblivious — or seems so. Like many of the characters Henderson has played, Annie has hinterland. When I first interviewed Henderson 21 years ago, she told me “it’s fun being messy or angry or disturbed,” and her CV is populated with such characters. But there are plenty of others, too…

‘I’d never filmed before’ – Elizabeth Findlay, Shadow of the Stone – STV (1987)

Children’s TV drama about a young girl and her 17th-century alter ego, who is accused of being a witch.

“This was my first job. I got the part after Leonard White — who was a lovely man — from Scottish Television saw me in my last play at drama school. I stayed at my auntie’s, got the bus into Glasgow, walked up to the STV studios, got changed and went to work — and then did the reverse at the end of the day. It was Monday to Friday and we always finished around five o’clock. No job has ever been as civilised. I’d never done any filming before and I didn’t know any filming techniques so Leonard, who directed it, was teaching me at the same time. The script was set, too, so you could learn your lines — and I was young, so learning lines was much easier than it is now. I remember working with a wee lizard and Alan Cumming played my boyfriend.”

‘I was shy and didn’t want to mess up’ – Isobel Sutherland, Hamish Macbeth – BBC One (1995-97)

Robert Carlyle and Shirley Henderson pictured together at the press launch of the new season of the BBC drama series Hamish Macbeth in March 1996. Larry Ellis Collection/Getty Images

Drama starring Robert Carlyle as the eponymous crime-solving PC.

“It was idyllic filming in Plockton every summer for three years, but there wasn’t a lot to do. We loved it when the wee fish and chip shop opened. We’d treat ourselves to a fish supper and gather in a caravan to listen as Ralph Riach and Brian Pettifer [who played “TV” John and Rory] told stories. “In the first series, we were filming a long shot and just before the camera got to me, the donkey I was looking after stood on my foot. It was agony! Today, I’d say, ‘Stop! The donkey’s on my foot!’ but I was shy and I didn’t want to mess it up. “I learned so much on that job. People would say they’d seen me on Hamish Macbeth. As time passes, you get recognised but I’ve never had ‘celebrity’; I don’t know what it is.”

‘I didn’t know who Harry Potter was’ – Moaning Myrtle, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) & Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

The JK Rowling juggernaut that entranced a generation and made stars of its cast.

“When I was first asked for an audition, I didn’t know who Harry Potter was. But my sister, who was staying with me, had read the books. Still, I wasn’t convinced I could play a 14-year-old girl because I was in my 30s at the time. But I spoke to the casting director Karen Lindsay-Stewart and she said, ‘I haven’t told them your age’.

“So I went to the audition dressed as a schoolgirl — white shirt, black skirt, ponytail — thinking, ‘This is ridiculous’. I did my wee bit for them and they thanked me. Months went by and I thought that was it, but then they phoned my agent, asked to see me again and offered me the part.

“Myrtle is an old person in a young person’s body and because she’s ghosty, there’s a kind of mistiness. You’re not looking closely at my face so we could get away with it.”

‘In the end, you don’t think about acting, you let it happen’ – Marie Melmotte, The Way We Live Now – BBC One (2001)

Andrew Davies’s adaptation of Anthony Trollope’s novel.

“With work like this, it’s often in language which is alien. When you first put on the costumes, which confine you, you’re like, ‘I can’t do it with all this stuff on me’. But then you relax into it, your body adapts and actually releases oils that make the costume too big. So you get it taken in and think, ‘I need all this stuff’, because it’s part of the character. In the end, you don’t even think about the scene, you just do it. And then you don’t even do that, you just let the scene happen.”

‘I auditioned hunched down on the floor’ – Babu Frik, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

In a galaxy far, far away, it’s Empire versus Republic round two.

“It being Star Wars, they ask you if you want to audition, but don’t tell you anything else — nothing. I was like, ‘You have to give me something so I can prepare,’ and eventually they said, ‘Maybe very small, maybe very old, maybe from somewhere else’.

“So I went to the audition with [director] JJ Abrams, who is the sweetest man, and Nina Gold (who cast me in Topsy-Turvy), had a lovely chat and then I did my bit. I hunched down on the floor and did this voice I had come up with in a language I had made up. He said, ‘You’ve got the job,’ and they brought in a model of Babu Frik.

“It’s voice acting but not in the sense that you voice it later. I was there, on set, crammed into a cupboard on the floor trying to see what the puppeteers were doing with Babu’s mouth to improvise in the made-up language. An amazing job.”

‘Sometimes I wonder if I dreamt it’ – Ursula Blake, Doctor Who: Love and Monsters – BBC One (2006)

Adventures in time and space.

“When I was young, I’d either go out and play when Doctor Who was on, or hide behind the sofa. As an adult, I’d been watching David Tennant and Billie Piper, so when I was offered it — I didn’t have to audition — I jumped right in. We were forever being told to behave because Peter Kay, who I’d worked with on 24 Hour Party People, was making us laugh. Marc Warren was doing magic tricks — there was one that I still can’t get my head around, involving books. Sometimes I do wonder, ‘Did I dream it, or did it actually happen?'”

The buzz around Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film SSMB29 just got bigger! Directed by the legendary SS Rajamouli, the film is one of the most anticipated Indian movies in recent years. For months, fans have speculated that Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran would be part of the stellar cast, and now, Mahesh Babu himself has accidentally confirmed it.

Mahesh Babu Spoiled Surprise

But here’s the twist, in doing so, he ended up spoiling Rajamouli’s big surprise, and the director has promised to punish him for it in his trademark humorous style. Last night, Mahesh Babu kicked off the fun on social media by tagging SS Rajamouli on X, writing, “November is here.” Rajamouli quickly replied, teasing, “Yes… you’re expecting a review of this film this month?” Mahesh then fired back with a playful jab, “Your always-in-the-making Mahabharata, sir… First things first. You promised us something in November. Keep your word.”

Rajamouli responded that it had already begun and that he would be revealing things one by one. Not one to back down, Mahesh Babu joked again, “How slow, sir? Will we start in 2030? For your information, our Desi Girl has been posting about every street in Hyderabad since January.” With that, he tagged Priyanka Chopra, and fans instantly caught the hint! Soon after, Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran jumped into the conversation, playfully confirming their involvement. Rajamouli, realizing the surprise had been spoiled, jokingly expressed mock anger at Mahesh Babu.

He wrote that Mahesh would be punished by delaying the reveal of his first look from the film! The hilarious exchange quickly went viral, sending fans into a frenzy. The comments section flooded with excitement and memes about Mahesh’s spoiler alert moment. Following the banter, fans began speculating that SS Rajamouli is planning to unveil something big, possibly a glimpse or character first look from SSMB29 on November 2.

Kritika Kamra Special Roles
Bollywood

Kritika Kamra Birthday Special: 5 Roles That Prove That Mitron Actress Aces Female-Forward Narratives

by jummy84
written by jummy84

On her birthday, we celebrate the powerhouse performer Kritika Kamra, an actress who continues to redefine how women are portrayed on screen. From her television beginnings to bold, layered roles in films and OTT projects, Kritika has consistently chosen stories that put women at the center complex, independent, and unapologetically real. Here’s a look at five standout roles that underline why Kritika Kamra is one of the strongest voices in female-forward storytelling today.

Bheed

    In Anubhav Sinha’s Bheed, Kritika Kamra stepped into a gritty, socially charged narrative that mirrored India’s harsh lockdown realities. Her performance as a journalist brought sensitivity and courage to the forefront — a woman unafraid to question systems, yet deeply empathetic towards the suffering of common people. Kritika’s character wasn’t just a witness to injustice; she became the moral compass of the story, showing how empathy and truth-telling are acts of rebellion.

    Hush Hush

      Amazon Prime Video’s Hush Hush showcased Kritika in a darker, psychological thriller setting. Amidst a star-studded ensemble, she held her own as Dolly Dalal, a woman trapped in societal expectations, grappling with her identity, and ultimately reclaiming her agency. Kritika brought both vulnerability and quiet strength to the role, embodying the story’s central theme that every woman hides a truth, and it’s her choice when and how to reveal it.

      Bambai Meri Jaan

        In the crime-drama Bambai Meri Jaan, Kritika portrayed Habiba Kadri, a character that stood out in a world dominated by men and power struggles. As the daughter of a gangster, she brought ferocity and intelligence to the role, proving that she wasn’t a mere bystander to her family’s legacy but an active force within it. Kritika infused Habiba with quiet defiance showing how strength isn’t always loud, but deeply rooted in resilience and conviction.

        Gyaarah Gyaarah

          In Gyaarah Gyaarah, Kritika delved into the world of mystery and time travel, a genre rarely explored by female leads in Indian storytelling. Her character was cerebral, intuitive, and emotionally layered, balancing intellect with heart. Kritika’s performance in this Arjun Varain Singh directorial was yet another reminder of her knack for choosing narratives where women lead from the front, driving the plot rather than orbiting around it.

          Saare Jahan Se Accha

            In Saare Jahan Se Accha, Kritika continues her streak of portraying strong, self-reliant women. While details of her character remain under wraps, early buzz suggests another nuanced performance that celebrates individuality and emotional strength. Whether it’s navigating relationships, ambition, or identity, Kritika ensures her characters reflect the modern woman’s journey layered, flawed, but always fearless.

EXCLUSIVE: Gulshan Devaiah Recalls How Manoj Bajpayee’s Unconventional Roles Inspired Him; Calls Late Irfaan Khan Versatile Actor

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Actor Gulshan Devaiah recently shared how he found inspiration in legendary actors like Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan during his early years. He spoke about how Manoj Bajpayee’s unique film choices stood out, especially during a time when most people were following mainstream cinema.

Gulshan Devaiah On What He Learned From Manoj Bajpayee And Late Irfaan Khan

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, he said, “When I was at an age where I needed inspiration, Manoj Bajpayee was there. He had an era of his own with films like Satya that left a deep impact on us. While Shah Rukh Khan was also doing something different within commercial films, Manoj ji was taking on realistic and unconventional roles. That really inspired me. At a time when I was feeling low, Manoj sir felt like a shining beacon of hope. His long career and continued passion for acting even today are something I admire a lot.”

Gulshan also praised Irrfan Khan for his unique style and fearless choices. He said, “Irrfan was truly versatile. He brought variety into his roles without changing who he was to please others. He had confidence in his talent and didn’t try to fit in. Sometimes, you can just feel that strong self-belief in people. I also enjoy doing different kinds of roles, and working with different people helps me grow as an actor. You realise that, ‘Oh, I can do this too!’”

Watch the interview here:

Gulshan’s words show how important it is for young artists to have role models who break the mould and inspire others through their honesty and passion for their craft.

Warwick Davis to reprise one of his ‘Harry Potter’ roles in HBO reboot series

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Warwick Davis has been confirmed as part of the cast for the Harry Potter television series, reprising one of the same roles he had in the films.

Davis has been revealed as the first actor from the original film franchise – based on the J.K. Rowling book series – to be taking part in the forthcoming series made for HBO.

In the show, which is expected to arrive on screens in 2027, Davis will once again be taking on the role of Professor Filius Flitwick. In the films, he also played the character Griphook – a goblin employed at the Gringotts Wizarding Bank – however, this role in the series will be played by Leigh Gill.

The news was announced as part of the Back To Hogwarts celebration today (September 1), and also saw other new members of the cast revealed for the first time.

These, as shared by Deadline, included the role of Dean Thomas, a student at Hogwarts who was part of the Gryffindor House, and those of Slytherin students Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. Thomas will be played by Elijah Oshin, and Crabbe and Goyle will be played by Finn Stephens and William Nash, respectively.

Also confirmed is Sirine Saba as Professor Pomona Sprout (played by Miriam Margolyes in the films), Richard Durden as Professor Cuthbert Binns, and Bríd Brennan as Madam Poppy Pomfrey. Binns is the ghost of a teacher who continues to teach at Hogwarts, and featured in the J.K. Rowling books but not in the film series. Pomfrey is a nurse who was played by Gemma Jones in the movies.

Earlier this year, other members of the cast were revealed, and it was reported that over 32,000 children auditioned for the three lead roles – Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

In May, it was confirmed that Dominic McLaughlin would be playing Harry, Arabella Stanton will portray Hermione, and Alastair Stout will take on the role of Ron.

Before then, it was reported that John Lithgow would play the role of Albus Dumbledore. HBO later confirmed the casting, and also announced Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid.

Others in the cast include Luke Thallon as Professor Quirinus Quirrell, Paul Whitehouse as caretaker Argus Filch, Bertie Carvel as Cornelius Fudge, Harry’s aunt and uncle Petunia and Vernon Dursley depicted by Bel Powley and Daniel Rigby, Draco Malfoy being played by Lox Pratt, and his father, Lucius, brought to life by Johnny Flynn. Check out the full cast so far here.

Since the series was announced, an actor from the original films, Jason Isaacs, has called out “racist” critics of Paapa Essiedu’s casting as Severus Snape in the show, and Chris Columbus, who directed the first two films, has criticised the look of the series, questioning why it needs to be made.
