KERRY CONDON

“The Banshees of Inisherin”

Since making her debut at 16 in Alan Parker’s 1999 adaptation of “Angela’s Ashes,” Condon has steadily built a career that encapsulates virtually every kind of work a person in her profession can do, from film (“The Last Station,” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”) to television (“Rome,” “Ray Donovan”) to theater (“The Lieutenant of Inishmore”). It’s in that last medium where she met one of her longest-running collaborators, playwright and filmmaker Martin Mcdonagh. She is drawing praise for her role in Mcdonagh’s latest project, “The Banshees of Inisherin.”

“Even though I’ve worked with Martin many times since I was 17, I still feel like I need to prove how good I am and that I deserve the part,” Condon says. “So I continue to work very hard. And I am very good at taking his notes, and he gives a lot of them."

Having just wrapped her role on “Better Call Saul,” as Stacey Ehrmantraut, “Inisherin” marks a turning point in her career, even if she’s been working toward it for more than two decades. “I want to be in artistic movies, but I also love watching something just for entertainment, so I want to be a part of those genres and types of movies too,” she says. “I have always wanted to do everything, even before television was as mainstream as it is now, I was very happy to be doing film, theater and television. I don’t think it’s wise to limit yourself as an actor, or a person.”
