In her first convention, Timegate 2015, Michelle Gomez was asked by a fan what was her favourite show that she’d starred in. Michelle replied that there hadn’t been much “starring” but she had done a lot of “second banana on the left”.
So this is an irresistible title for my compilation of all her one-scene parts since the beginning of her career, from the blink-and-you-miss-her baby-faced nurse in the 1989 film “First and Last” to the sassy and shocking record producer Francine Hardy in the web pilot series “Svengali” from 2009, which, incidentally, is incorrectly listed on IMDb as a TV movie.
I hope you enjoy this journey through the humble beginnings of this amazing icon. As Michelle said at Timegate, “when you know you’re talented, when you know you’ve got something, never ever give up”, and boy, are we glad she didn’t!!
