In this episode of the Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh sits down with Dungannon actor Fra Fee to chat about his impressive catalogue of work that spans stage, film and TV, and delving into those key moments that shaped his career.
From his breakout screen role as Courfeyrac in Les Misérables to standout performances in local films including Animals and Boys From County Hell, Fra has built a strong presence on screen, balancing indie projects against large-scale productions like Hawkeye on Disney+ or Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon.
On 21st April, all six episodes of Unchosen were released on Netflix, in which he plays the enigmatic and manipulative Sam. Fra discusses his approach to this complex, morally ambiguous role, the contrast in working across different mediums, and how he develops a character from script to performance.

“Some of his actions are deplorable, but I couldn’t help but love and admire his strengths. He’s fiercely intelligent, a master manipulator and some of his gameplay within the story is just... delicious.”
@fra_fee opens up on playing Sam in @netflix ’s UNCHOSEN – out now. The series follows a modern-day cult in the north of England, with Fra at its centre as an outsider whose arrival quietly unravels everything. Speaking to Imagine, he reflects on navigating one of the most morally complex characters of his career, the uncomfortable parallels between cult dynamics and the world we actually live in and why the closer he gets to a character, the more he leans into his own voice – literally.
