Peterborough’s own Linda Kash appears in the premiere episode of the third season of FX Networks’ hit black comedy series Fargo.
In the episode entitled “The Law of Vacant Places”, which aired on April 19th, Linda performs in two scenes as Stella, the wife of Emmit Stussy, portrayed by Ewan McGregor.
McGregor plays a dual lead role, as brothers Emmitt and Ray Sussy. Emmmit is a handsome and successful self-made man, while his younger brother Ray is a parole officer who blames Emmit for his misfortunes.
Their sibling rivalry leads them into a world of murder, crime, and mobsters.
In the following scene, Emmitt and Stella are hosting a party to celebrate their 25th wedding anniverary. Linda has a chance to demonstrate her Minnesotan accent.
(The balding man in the crowd, who dumps his champagne into the plan, is also Ewan McGregor as Emmit’s brother Ray).
Later, Linda makes another appearance in a scene at the Sussy home when Emmit is called back to the office.
The third season of Fargo was filmed earlier this year in Calgary, Alberta.
Linda is not the only Peterborough actor to appear recently in a major American television series.
Dan Duran, who was announced last week as the new weather analyst at CHEX Television in Peterborough, appears in the ABC series Designated Survivor as a White House reporter.
Linda is currently directing the New Stages Theatre Company’s production of Our Town, which runs from April 28th to May 6th at the Market Hall in Peterborough.
