Bold headline: Flynn Gray lands major deal with WME, signaling a rising star ready for bigger screens.
But here’s where it gets controversial: a rising Irish actor moves from local and streaming gigs to a high-profile Star Wars project, highlighting how quickly talent can jump from regional roles to global franchises.
Original content rewritten:
Exclusive: WME signs Flynn Gray, the Dublin-born actor best known for roles on Irish series such as Borderline and Baltimore, along with appearances on Netflix’s Wednesday and CW’s Sherlock and Daughter, for representation across all fields.
Gray has now secured a prominent lead role opposite Ryan Gosling in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy. The film also features Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams in its ensemble.
The project is positioned five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker, which marked the end of the Skywalker saga and remains the last feature chronologically on the Star Wars timeline.
WME plans to collaborate with Gray to strategically develop his career and broaden his footprint across film, television, and related ventures.
Gray remains represented by Isobel Moloney.
