Watch this space, as Dublin-born, Malaysian-bred actress Niamh Walsh is about to become a household name.
The LAMDA graduate is set to skyrocket to fame after being cast in Jamestown, a new racy period drama, created by the same people who created Downton Abbey.
The new show, set in 1619 in Virginia, has been dubbed 'the new Downton'.
#Jamestown starts May 5th on @sky1.

The cast includes Sophie Rundle (Brief Encounters and Peaky Blinders) and Max Beesley (Hotel Babylon and Mad Dog).
Same.
Jamestown is set kick off on Sky on May 5.
