Rising Irish-English actress Bodhi Rae Breathnach has officially signed with United Talent Agency for representation in the United States. The 15-year-old performer's agency deal follows a rapid ascent in high-profile feature films, beginning with her big-screen debut in Chloé Zhao's critically acclaimed and commercially successful adaptation of "Hamnet."
Breathnach will be represented at UTA by agent Danie Streisand. The new American agency partnership comes alongside her continued representation in the United Kingdom by The Artists Partnership, establishing a broader international team as her Hollywood profile expands.
Arrival of 'Sense and Sensibility' in U.S. Theaters
The representation announcement arrives as Breathnach prepares for the domestic rollout of her newest period project, "Sense and Sensibility." Directed by Georgia Oakley, the fresh cinematic take on Jane Austen's classic novel is backed by Focus Features and Working Title. The film earned positive critical reception following its initial theatrical debut in the U.K. on September 25 and is scheduled to open in U.S. cinemas on October 16.
In the adaptation, Breathnach takes on the role of Margaret Dashwood. She shares the screen with an ensemble cast featuring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, Frank Dillane, Herbert Nordrum, George MacKay, and Fiona Shaw.
Early Screen Roles and Action Turn Alongside Jason Statham
Before breaking into major studio features, Breathnach logged her first on-screen appearance in the British television conspiracy thriller series "The Capture." Following her feature debut in "Hamnet," she demonstrated her range by pivoting away from literary dramas to co-star in the action-thriller "Shelter," which was released earlier this year by Black Bear.
In "Shelter," Breathnach played a co-leading role opposite veteran action star Jason Statham. Her performance earned public praise from her veteran colleague, with Statham noting at the time that she was "very talented" and predicting audiences would "see a lot of her."
Upcoming Film Slate With Robert Eggers and Fifth Season
Looking ahead, Breathnach is positioned for multiple prominent releases across genre filmmaking. Her next scheduled appearance comes in Robert Eggers' "Werwulf," which Focus Features has slated to arrive in theaters this December. The production features a star-studded cast that includes Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Ineson, and Willem Dafoe.
In addition to the Eggers project, Breathnach recently completed production as the lead character Marjorie in Fifth Season's feature adaptation of Paul Tremblay's horror novel "A Head Full of Ghosts." Directed by the filmmaking duo Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala, the film reunites her with "Sense and Sensibility" co-star Esmé Creed-Miles and also features Rebecca Hall and David Harbour.
With multiple studio projects queued for release and key U.S. agency representation now solidified under UTA, Breathnach enters the upcoming cinematic awards and winter box-office windows with substantial industry momentum.
