Sally Thomsett joins Devon thriller Killing Lionel team
Killing Lionel, the thriller written and directed Tim Thorne, has attracted the acting talents of Sally Thomsett.
Many will know Sally as the blonde girl in the highly acclaimed The Railway Children and Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffman, not to mention lots of mainstream TV sitcoms like Man About the House.
Sally has joined the already established team, with the cast including George Mikell, Martin Ross, who is currently filming a TV episode for a period detective crime series, and Phil Baker.
Along with the announcement of Sally’s involvement comes the news of the release of a teaser trailer for the thriller, which is being shot in Holsworthy, North Devon.
