'The Little Drummer Girl': Meet Florence Pugh, the star of John Le Carre's latest TV series adaptation

Florence Pugh has played many characters, but the common factor uniting them is their strength and will to stand their ground.

Though Florence Pugh might consider it "ridiculous" that she is being compared to her childhood inspiration, Kate Winslet, the 22-year-old actor is right now one of BBC's most sought after actresses.

In director Park Chan-wook's adaptation of John Le Carre's 1983 novel, 'The Little Drummer Girl', Pugh plays aspiring actor Charlie Ross. As a bold yet naive woman, Charlie is a liberal-leftist who finds herself in the middle of a project led by Mossad agents, Marty Kutrz (played by Michael Shannon) and Becker (played by Alexander Skarsgard).
