In From the Cold: Cork actor Cillian O’Sullivan on his new Netflix spy thriller 

 In From The Cold: Cillian O'Sullivan and  Margarita Levieva in a scene from the Netflix drama. 

Meet the Cork actor who’s taken a leading role in Netflix’s big new spy thriller. Four years ago, Cillian O’Sullivan moved to the US with a backpack, $1,000 in savings and a dream of furthering his acting career. Now the actor is entertaining global audiences as the male lead in so-called ‘spy-fi thriller’ In From the Cold, by far his most high-profile role to date.

For the actor from Ballinlough, it’s been an exciting time in his career. “It’s definitely the biggest opportunity I’ve ever gotten, 100%,” says O’Sullivan, adding he was especially surprised as he got the part without being called back for a second audition as is common. “It was much like all the other auditions I had done that year. I was excited about it. I did it. It went off into the ether and I expected to hear nothing about it again.
