'The Little Drummer Girl': John Le Carre makes appearance in second adaptation of his 1983 novel

The creator cannot seem to stay away from his work, and every now and then Le Carre makes an appearance in an adaptation of his works
PUBLISHED NOV 14, 2018

Fans have already claimed John Le Carre is probably following in the footsteps of Stan Lee after the author's cameo in the third episode of BBC One's adaptation of the 1983 novel, 'The Little Drummer Girl'. Following the plight of an aspiring young actress Charlie Ross (played by Florence Pugh), the story is set against the backdrop of the Israel-Palestine conflict of the 70s.

In order to catch hold of a Palestinian terrorist, two Mossad agents hire Charlie as a pawn to trap the notorious terrorist, Khalil. Played by Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgard respectively, Marty Kurtz and Becker have pushed Charlie to take on responsibilities which might cost her quite a lot.
