I grew up in a small town in Ireland and didn't know any actors. I never thought it was a viable job. It wasn't until I was on 'The Tudors' that I realised it was a possibility. Katie McGrath actorgrowireland Change image and share on social
Working crew made me realise that the actors are a very small part of a very big machine, with each part being vital to make the show work. It so important to remember that it's not about you, it's about the show, and working crew hammered that point home to me. Katie McGrath actorbigcrow share on social

It's not an understatement to say that I owe everything as an actor to 'Merlin.' It was pretty much my first job, and I didn't know what I was doing for many years on it. It wasn't until the third and fourth series - the fourth series especially - that I really found my feet with the character, and as an actress. Katie McGrath actoractresscharacter share on social

I love being as bad as possible! You've got to love a bad girl. Look at 'Gone With the Wind,' Scarlett O'Hara - total bad girl, but you love her. Katie McGrath badgirlhara Change image and share on social
Without Merlin, there would be no Gandalf, so I see them as the same thing, one a continuation of the other. Katie McGrath continuationgandalfmerlin Change image and share on social
