What Else to Watch With Baby Reindeer’s Jessica Gunning?
Find out where you have already seen the actress before.
Every day when we log on to Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), Reddit, or any other social media platform, we see hundreds of posts obsessing over a celebrity. While it's fine to praise an artist and share their work online, the moment the online fangirling ends and the offline stalking begins, it gets serious.
Baby Reindeer has impressed so many viewers with its realistic portrayal of the horrors associated with stalking. Both Richard Gadd, who wrote the show and actually experienced what his character goes through, and Jessica Gunning, who portrayed stalker Martha, have done a phenomenal job.
And if you are wondering where else you could have seen her performance, here are some of the most important pieces of Jessica Gunning's filmography.
Doctor Who ( 2008)
When it comes to British actors and actresses, Doctor Who is the perfect marker of talent and success, so for Gunning to land a role in the iconic series at the very beginning of her career is beyond impressive. She appeared in the 2008 episode Partners In Crime alongside David Tennant's 10th Doctor and his companion, Catherine Tate's Donna Noble.
Law & Order: UK (2009)
One of the greatest mystery crime franchises of all time took a trip overseas in its 2009 UK spinoff, which lasted 5 years. Gunning played a police receptionist named Angela and starred in a total of 29 episodes during the first few seasons of the show. The show was great while it lasted and can make for a very satisfying re-watch.
Pride (2014)
This Golden Globe and BAFTA-nominated comedy-drama follows a group of gay and lesbian activists who launched a campaign to support the families of British miners affected by the 1984 strike. This event would come to be known as the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign, and Gunning's Siân James will have her name written into history.
Strike (2018)
Based on the books by J.K. Rowling, this crime drama series centers on a war veteran turned private detective, Cormoran Strike. Jessica Gunning, not new to the genre, portrayed a woman named Holly who happens to be an identical twin of one of the three main suspects. What are the odds!
The Outlaws (2021)
The actress' latest credit before a major Netflix breakthrough is the BBC comedy The Outlaws, which depicts a community payback work center with all the people who end up sentenced to it. Gunning portrays Diane, a former juvenile delinquent and now the community service supervisor.
