Agnes O’Casey has played so many spies, you’d think she basically is one. After her breakthrough going undercover with fascists in Ridley Road, then playing young agent Dani in Black Doves, and her recent stage performance in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, she’s now in Apple TV’s Star City, playing a KGB officer.
