Daryl McCormack is having a busy and rewarding year with ensemble appearances on TV in “Peaky Blinders” and “Bad Sisters,” and a star-making performance in “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.” He’s among The Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers of 2022.
McCormack is on a short break from shooting BBC-Showtime series “The Woman in the Wall,” a gothic thriller that involves the Magdalene Laundries — church run institutions in Ireland for unmarried women and their children, which has been investigated for allegations of physical and sexual abuse.
Ruth Wilson’s character Lorna Brady had been placed in a laundry and wakes years later to find a dead body in her house. McCormack portrays Detective Colman Akande, the policeman on her trail.Not that he minds hard work. “I always like to pick projects that I believe in the message behind. In a way, if the work is tiring, it feels rewarding because you know that you’re doing something you care about. So you’re willing to go through any sense of tiredness or exhaustion because you’re wanting to do the story proud.”This is McCormack’s support network, the people he turns to on the rare occasion that roles don’t go his way.
McCormack also gets Googled with people looking up his eye color , his background or who he played in “Peaky Blinders” .“It’s kind of a natural part of the job. They’re curious to know who you are and where you’re from and all that stuff.” Next he’d like to play an American character and could be filming in the U.S. next year — he’s confident his accent skills are up to the task.“There’s a certain level of responsibility and you know, usually with those projects, if they’ve passed, some of their loved ones might be still around. And there’s just an element where that to me is like an amazing opportunity to storytell. And I would love to kind of welcome that pressure and have an honor to actually tell someone’s true story.
