Career
Niamh's first major audition was for a role in the Channel 4 television show The Virtues. The talented actress went on to bag the role and played Dinah alongside the famous Stephen Graham in the mini-series.
Since then, Algar has starred in other series and movies such as The Bisеxual, MotherFatherSon, and Calm with Horses. The latter was filmed on the west coast of Ireland and produced by Michael Fassbender's DMC Films.
Algar's role in Calm with Horses saw her act alongside fellow Irishman Barry Keoghan, renowned for his role in the Oscar-winning war flick Dunkirk.
After conquering British television, it seems that Algar has her sights firmly set on Hollywood. When speaking of her desire to find work across the pond, the actor stated,
" I’ve been playing Irish quite a bit and it serves me well, but I’d like to change into a different accent."
One of the actress's latest roles is in the Channel 4 series Pure, in which she plays the character of Amber, a journalist who takes the lead character, Marnie, under her wing.
Despite working on the television adaptation, Algar revealed to Channel 4 that she chose not to read the book on which the series is based before filming took place.
