It looks as though there's another talented Irish actress trying to follow in Jamie Dornan's footsteps by making her big break in America. There's a new report that says Dornan's The Fall co-star Aisling Franciosi has just landed a leading role in a new spy drama, which she is hoping will help open more doors of opportunity for her.

In an interview with Us Weekly (via Her.ie) last month, Madonna made it clear that while she loves the show, she gives props to another actor in the series, too.

She said, "I don't really watch TV. I only like two shows True Detective and an Irish series called The Fall and I'm not embarrassed about them. Many people say, 'The Fall with Jamie Dornan' but I say 'The Fall with Gillian Anderson'. She's so good."

Filming has begun on the third season in Belfast last month.
