Tamsin Greig is a staple of the British television scene, with shows like Friday Night Dinner, Green Wing and Black Books in her back catalogue to name a few.
But even with such a celebrated filmography, the actor admits to Yahoo that she doesn’t like looking back at her past work because she sees “so much of what [she] didn’t achieve” at the time. Instead, Greig prefers to look ahead and, right now, this means her role as Cecilia in Paramount+’s Sexy Beast, a prequel to the 2000 film of the same name.
Cecilia is a very different character to what fans might be expecting of Greig, a ruthless, gritty crime boss who is a queenpin in a sea of men. It proved an interesting challenge for Greig, who sits down with Yahoo to discuss the role and look back at her career to reveal her Origin Story.
Sexy Beast is out on Paramount+ now.
