Irish born Valene Kane is perhaps best known for her performances in all three series of BBC Two's BAFTA nominated The Fall, in which she played Jamie Dornan's first lover, Rose Stagg.[1] and gave what The Independent described as "the standout performance” of Series 2; "harrowing to watch and completely convincing"[2]
Her role as Lyra Erso in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story saw Kane and on-screen husband Mads Mikkelsen battle with Ben Mendelsohn's "Director Krennic" after desperately seeking help from Forest Whitaker's "Saw Gerrera"[3]
In BBC Three's kidnap drama Thirteen, she starred opposite Jodie Comer as Detective Lisa Merchant in a performance described as "superb" by 'The Radio Times': "The former star of The Fall's scenes [...] are among the show's most intriguing, simmering with sexual tension and professional frustration."[4]
Kane recently won 'Best Actress in a Lead Role' at the Sherman Oaks Film Festival 2019 for her performance as "a mother [who] refuses to bend to society's mores even in the face of unspeakable tragedy" in First Person: A Film About Love.[5] and won the BBC Audio Drama Award for Best Supporting Performer for her role in The Stroma Sessions.
The film Profile, in which she played a struggling undercover journalist who connects with a Jihadi through Facebook, won the Panorama Audience Award at the 68th Berlin International Film Festival.[6]
