After establishing herself as one of the most compelling dramatic actors working in theater and television, Mireille Enos knew it was time for a change.
She earned a Tony nomination in 2005 for her portrayal of Honey in the dark comedy drama Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. Then, in 2011, Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her performance as homicide detective Sarah Linden in the acclaimed crime thriller series The Killing. At the same time she’s also drawn acclaim for her work on Big Love, Hanna, Good Omens, and The Catch, while also appearing in the films If I Stay, Never Here, Gangster Squad, and World War Z.
After a decade and a half of serious and dark material, during the COVID-19 pandemic Enos decided that she wanted to take on different roles. “I just thought, the world needs something lighter. I need something lighter. I need a little hope. I need some humanity,” said Enos.
