Kelly Reilly is a force to be reckoned with on stage, in movies, and on TV.
“I admire his stillness as an actor.
It’s things like that that he teaches me inadvertently,” she said.
“He put me in his wife’s drama group and suddenly I was reading Chekhov and Shakespeare.
My world suddenly became much more exciting,” Reilly told theEvening Standard.
He even came on set to help her in her role as a detective constable.
It was 1995, and Reilly had never worked on a TV set.
She recalled asking the actress if she should go to drama school, and Mirren said no.
So I took her advice and carried on acting," Reilly told the outlet.
According to an interview withParade, she moved to L.A. to pursue a career in acting in her 20s.
It’s a fantastic playground to be in.
I’m aware every day of what an amazing opportunity this is for me."
“It was just something [about her that was] so powerful and broken and human.
The couplegot engaged in 2007but split up two years later.
Only because I’m trying to protect myself and my life.
It’s a bit complicated.”
The actor was recognized for her performance alongside the likes of Keira Knightley and Sally Hawkins.
“There’s no bigger compliment to an actor than being recognized by their peers.
Surely, though, it’s only a matter of time.
As Reilly explained, in an interview withThe Playlist, “It was an unexpectedly huge hit.
Ever since then, I’ve been approaching a lot.
I’m wary of them [horror movies].
They’re difficult to get right.”
However, she said, “I loved the ending.
I loved that she didn’t get out because that made the horror feel all the more real.
It was very disturbing.
I really loved making that film.”
In the caption, she wrote, “Out west again with my loves.”
In an interview withParadein 2018, she said she mainly lives in New York.
Although, she does spend some time in England appearing in productions.
Funnily enough, the rancher’s daughter quickly became a fan favorite, thanks to Reilly’s committed performance.
Turns out that those wolves weren’t computer animated; they were real.
While Reilly was nervous about the entire situation, her crew assured her she’d be okay.
Reilly told the outlet about what she had said to the production crew.
Reilly encountered another scary situation while in Montana shooting “Yellowstone.”
“It was like a 1,000-feet drop on either side.
I did a drive to a place called Skalkaho Pass.
She is always looking for acting roles that challenge her, even after two decades in the industry.
“Obviously, I play Beth and people like it.
So, I’m inundated with very feisty, strong, violent-bang out women.
I don’t want to play that again,” she told the outlet.
What is she looking for in future roles?
Still, when she got the opportunity to break the mold, the British star jumped at it.
In a 2022 chat withEsquire, the actor was asked about “Yellowstone” becoming a worldwide phenomenon.
Even in New York, I’m out by the end of the island, by the sea.
I’m cut off a lot from the world.”
Still, Reilly also acknowledged, “It’s a powerful thing to be part of.
People have adopted it as their show.
I’m really proud of it.”
