Faye Marsay reveals 'important' line she improvised in Adolescence and details Stephen Graham's 'empowering' pep talk to cast before filming that left them in tears


The actress, 38, starred in the global hit series as DS Misha Frank and voiced how 'passionate' she is about the heavy subject matter.

Faye Marsay has opened up on starring in global megahit Adolescence, revealing how Stephen Graham gave a speech ahead of filming about how 'special' the show was, which left the cast in tears. The four-episode programme follows the Miller family, whose lives are torn apart when their 13-year-old son Jamie, played by Owen Cooper, is arrested for stabbing a female classmate to death after being influenced by online misogyny. Alongside Stephen and Owen, the show also sees Top Boy legend Ashley Walters take on the role of DI Luke Bascombe and The Crown's Erin Doherty playing psychiatrist Briony Ariston.
