The Steed of Slow Horses
Jack Lowden is a breakout in the spy procedural by way of Office Space, and he’s making a run for Emmys glory.
Lowden says he’s a lot like River, which is perhaps just a natural result of Slow Horses being his first recurring series after breaking out in the 2016 BBC miniseries War & Peace and featuring in historical films like Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and the Ronan-co-starring Mary Queen of Scots. “Sersh gets recognized all the time, of course.” In Lowden’s mind, the ideal level of fame is somewhere around Jesse Plemons or Tom Burke, last seen in Furiosa, whom he describes as “this complete vintage, mature-cheddar fucking actor.” Which is to say people with good, interesting careers and low profiles. Next year, Lowden is set to appear in a new American political comedy from James L. Brooks, Ella McCay, in which he’ll be part of a cast that includes Emma Mackey, Woody Harrelson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ayo Edebiri.
