- Narges Rashidi won the BAFTA for Leading Actress for portraying Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe in BBC's 'Prisoner 951,' directed by Phillipa Lowthorpe and co-starring Joseph Fiennes, and also collected two Royal Television Society Awards for the role.
- Rashidi has signed with TFC Management, the agency founded in 2020 by David Stone and Ben Jacobson, whose roster includes Dakota and Elle Fanning, Shira Haas, Lashana Lynch, JD Pardo and Josh Hutcherson.
- Rashidi is known in the U.S. and UK for playing fearless mobster 'Lale' in Sky/AMC's 'Gangs of London,' heading into its fourth and final season in 2027, and performs the majority of her own stunts across the series.
- Rashidi's breakthrough came leading Babak Anvari's 2016 Persian-language film 'Under the Shadow,' which premiered at Sundance and earned her a BIFA Best Actress nomination and the New York International Film Festival's Breakthrough Actress award.
- Rashidi's additional credits include Netflix's 'Havoc' opposite Tom Hardy, Berlinale 2025 winner 'Last Swim,' and German series 'The Allegation,' which took the Dior Grand Prize at Canneseries 2021.
- TFC's sister company TFC Productions produced Apple series 'Margo's Got Money Troubles,' created by David E. Kelley and starring Elle Fanning, which recently received eight Emmy nominations including Outstanding Comedy Series.
- Rashidi will continue to be repped by The Artists Partnership in all areas.
Why it matters: TFC is folding a BAFTA-winning, internationally versatile actress into a roster that already spans A-list film (Elle Fanning), prestige TV (Margo's Got Money Troubles, eight Emmy noms), and creator representation - positioning Rashidi, whose 'Gangs of London' heads into its final 2027 season, for higher-profile English-language work on both sides of the Atlantic.
