Ashley Jensen became a household name starring with Ricky Gervais in Extras, then he cast her in After Life. Now she credits the comedian with helping her land a serious role in Shetland
Shetland may be the setting for one of our bleakest crime dramas, but for new cast member Ashley Jensen, filming alongside killer whales, puffins and seals was a magical experience.
“Everybody on the crew would be going, ‘Did you see the puffins?’ and I’d say, ‘It’s alright for you – I’m going home, learning lines and working out what I’m going to be doing tomorrow.’ They were all running about, wild swimming or looking at puffins. I wasHowever, on her last night, Ashley set off to see what she’d been missing. “Me and Stuart, my driver, went looking for the puffins and they’d all gone to bed,” she laments.
Her character DI Ruth Calder, however, does not share her enthusiasm. Ruth is a Shetland native who has left the island for a life in London, only to find a gangland killing leads her home. Ashley became a household name after Ricky Gervais cast her in 2005’s Extras . From there she joined Ugly Betty, and in 2014 she took the lead in Agatha Raisin .
When Douglas Henshall and Mark Bonnar’s left the show, there was much chatter about who would join, and Scottish Line Of Duty star Martin Compston’s name was much bandied about. So Ashley was thrilled when she won the role.
