Kirsty Mitchell is widely recognised for her role as Faith Cadogan in Casualty, but she was a James Bond ‘star’ during the early stages of her career. The Scottish actress has graced our screens for decades, making her TV debut in 1996, but her 007 role was a significant milestone in her career.
The 50 year old first joined the BBC medical drama series as Faith in 2019 and has since become a beloved character on the show.
However, outside of her scrubs and dramatic storylines, Kirsty starred alongside Daniel Craig in the James Bond 2010 video game, GoldenEye 007. In this role, she provided the voice and likeness for the fictional character Natalya Simonova.
