Rising Irish actor Dónal Finn has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for theatrical representation in the United States.
Finn is riding serious momentum right now. He currently stars as Moriarty in Amazon Prime Video’s Young Sherlock, developed and executive produced by Guy Ritchie, which debuted at No. 1 in over 95 countries and ranks among Prime’s top 10 most-watched Original seasons of all time.
The show has already been renewed for a second season. On the BBC, he plays leading man Mr. Hayward in The Other Bennett Sister alongside Richard E. Grant and Indira Varma, a fresh reimagining of Jane Austen’s world centered on Mary Bennet.
On the big screen, Finn has just wrapped back-to-back films with Guy Ritchie and Paul Greengrass. His previous screen credits include series regular Mat Cauthon in Amazon’s The Wheel of Time, Netflix’s The Witcher, Cursed, and the film Four Letters of Love opposite Helena Bonham Carter and Pierce Brosnan.
WME has been on a strong signing streak in 2026. The agency recently added Vikings: Valhalla star Sam Corlett and British actress Rosalind Eleazar to its roster.
Finn continues to be represented by Independent Talent Group in the UK and SJ Comms for publicity.
Takeaways
This is a well-timed move. Dónal Finn isn’t just a rising name, he’s already anchoring two prestige TV series simultaneously while wrapping major studio films.
Signing with WME in the U.S. right now, when Young Sherlock is a global hit and a second season is greenlit, is textbook smart positioning. WME gets a client with real heat; Finn gets a powerhouse agency in his corner as Hollywood attention intensifies.
Maintaining Independent Talent Group for the UK signals he’s playing a global game, not abandoning his roots, but clearly building a major transatlantic career.
With two films wrapped back-to-back and stage credibility from London’s West End, this isn’t just a TV actor making a move, this is a serious all-around talent stepping into a bigger lane.
Could Finn’s dual roles in Young Sherlock and The Other Bennett Sister fast-track him into leading man status in Hollywood studio films? With WME now behind him in the U.S., which major American projects could be next on his radar?
