Sinead Cusack plays Margot Asquith
As the daughter of two Irish actors it wouldn鈥檛 have been a stretch to suggest that Sinead would excel in the craft in later life, and as it turns out, she did. From the Abbey Theatre in Dublin to the Royal Shakespeare Company she treaded the boards, and her stage ability would see her receive two nominations for a Tony award. She has also starred alongside the genius of Peter Sellers and British acting institutions such as Roger Moore and is married to Jeremy Irons.
