‘This is an actual job?’ Rose Byrne on acting and a new role: producer
After so long in the business, how does Mary Rose Byrne, the girl from Balmain who fell in love with acting at the Australian Theatre for Young People, choose what to focus on?
What do you know Rose Byrne from? Bridesmaids, in which she played the uptight Helen with perfect comedic timing? Damages, the series she starred in with Glenn Close, for which she received two Emmy nominations? It could be X-Men. Or the horror franchise Insidious.
Maybe you remember her turn opposite Heath Ledger in indie film Two Hands. Perhaps you’ve seen her at the Sydney Theatre Company, performing Chekhov’s Three Sisters, or in New York when she starred next to her long-term partner Bobby Cannavale in Medea.
