Q: Like a lot of other people, I fell in love with the AMC series "The Night Manager," particularly the Angela character. Who played her, and what else has she done?
The very tough and very pregnant Angela Burr was played by Olivia Colman, a big star in Britain with a very low profile over here.
You've got some good company in her fan club: The producers of "The Night Manager" liked her enough to change the character's gender. Her character -- the harried, driven spy master navigating the intelligence bureaucracy to protect her agent -- was a man in the source novel by John le Carré.

For some reason, "Picket Fences," a series that made a point of being as American as apple pie (at least a weird version of apple pie where the apples all have some kind of secret), seems to be more popular in Australia than in the U.S.
