Famous Roles You Forgot the Adolescence Cast Played (3 of 6)

But Walters has also starred in Bulletproof, Missing You, and A Thousand Blows, another project that connects him back to Stephen Graham’s creative circle. In Adolescence, he also had to adapt to working within the show’s stressful one-shot format. After all, there’s no easy reset button when a scene runs that long, but Walters makes it work.

Faye Marsay as DS Misha Frank

Faye Marsay, who plays DS Misha Frank, is another face you’ve almost definitely seen before. Her biggest role before Adolescence is probably The Waif in Game of Thrones.

But Marsay’s career is much broader than that. She has appeared in Pride, Black Mirror, Andor, Deep Water, and Darkest Hour. She’s great at playing characters with sharp edges, which was perfect for Adolescence.

Christine Tremarco as Manda Miller

Christine Tremarco plays Jamie’s mother, who brings a grounded realism to the role. Before Adolescence, Tremarco already had a stable TV career, especially in British drama.
