Get ready to see a lot more of Flynn Gray—because this rising star is about to take the galaxy far, far away by storm. In a move that’s already sparking buzz in Hollywood, Dublin-born actor Flynn Gray has officially signed with WME for representation across all areas of his career. But here’s where it gets exciting: Gray isn’t just another face in the crowd. After honing his craft in Irish shows like Borderline and Baltimore, and making waves with appearances in Netflix’s Wednesday and CW’s Sherlock and Daughter, he’s landed a breakthrough role opposite Ryan Gosling in the highly anticipated Star Wars: Starfighter. Directed by Shawn Levy, this Lucasfilm title also boasts a star-studded cast including Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams. And this is the part most people miss: the film is set five years after Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker, marking a bold new chapter in the Star Wars timeline. But here’s where it gets controversial: will this film live up to the legacy of the Skywalker saga, or is it a risky departure? WME plans to strategically build Gray’s career, positioning him as a force to be reckoned with in film, television, and beyond. Meanwhile, Gray continues to be represented by Isobel Moloney, ensuring he has a strong team behind him as he navigates this next phase. What do you think?
