Get ready to see a lot more of Flynn Gray—because this rising star is about to take the galaxy far, far away by storm. In a move that’s already sparking buzz in Hollywood, Dublin-born actor Flynn Gray has officially signed with WME for representation across all areas of his career. But here’s where it gets exciting: after cutting his teeth on Irish shows like Borderline and Baltimore, and making waves with roles in Netflix’s Wednesday and CW’s Sherlock and Daughter, Gray has landed a major role opposite Ryan Gosling in the highly anticipated Star Wars: Starfighter. Directed by Shawn Levy and produced by Lucasfilm, this film is set to expand the Star Wars universe in bold new ways—five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, which closed the Skywalker saga. And this is the part most people miss: Gray joins a stellar cast that includes Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams. But here’s where it gets controversial: with such a high-profile project, will Gray become the next breakout star, or will he get lost in the shadow of a franchise as massive as Star Wars? WME plans to strategically build his career, not just in film and television, but beyond—a move that could either catapult him to superstardom or leave him navigating the complexities of Hollywood’s ever-shifting landscape. Gray continues to be represented by Isobel Moloney, ensuring he has a strong team behind him as he takes on this galactic opportunity. What do you think? Is Flynn Gray the next big thing, or is the Star Wars franchise too overwhelming for any single actor to stand out? Let us know in the comments—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!
