“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a female hacker on TV.”
SPY THRILLERS ARE A POPULAR TV GENRE, BUT ONE ABOUT A FEMALE Israeli Mossad agent? That’s almost unheard of. (its second season on Apple TV+ premieres May 6) is the rare to be mine. She is truly a gift,” she says. Part of Sultan’s initial response was to how different Tamar’s character is: “She is so complex and has so many layers. It’s not like the regular Mossad agent. She is a real person. Sensitive but at the same time has her own opinion. She has chutzpah.” While filming the first season she had no idea it would be a success. “We didn’t know if people would love it or not,” she says. “The fact that so many people around the world loved it, got the story and felt close to the characters, it’s amazing.” For Sultan, the positive international response is the most rewarding. She notes, “At the end of the day, that’s what you want as an actor.”
