Girl Behind the bar in episode 3


Does anyone know who played the girl behind the bar in episode 3 who serves the cokes (or beers) to the detective and the autistic guy?

reply

Unfortunately, she seems to be uncredited, probably because she doesn't actually say anything.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've got an idea that if an actor/actress doesn't actually say anything, it's not regarded as a speaking part, and therefore, he/she remains uncredited, but I'm not even 25% sure if that's correct.
If you have a recording of the scene, maybe you could capture a frame containing just her face and try a Google Image Search... You never know... you might find a match...

Thanks for responding but I don't have a recording of the scene. Oh well.

Well, I do, so I took two snapshots with VLC Media Player, and then, I tried various image search engines, (Google Image Search is not the only one).
You'll laugh when you read this, but the closest match was to a shot of, (would you believe?) EMMA WATSON!
And, I have to say, that the two snapshots that I had taken do bear a remarkable resemblance to that well-known young actress, but I just can't believe that a young woman playing a non-speaking part which lasts for less than 10 seconds on screen could possibly be the famous actress from the Harry Potter movies.
There are lots of online photos of Emma Watson without makeup, but, unfortunately, this board doesn't have an "upload images" feature, or I could have uploaded some comparison shots for you to see.
Later on, if I have time, I'll try to put up links to some of the Emma Watson shots, plus the VLC snapshots that I took from the recording, and you can see for yourself what I mean. You'll then be in a position either to dismiss my suggestion as fanciful or to accept it as fact, however unlikely that might appear to be the case.
I'll try to get back to you with the links later on.

As promised, here are links to a few pics of Emma Watson without makeup, plus the two headshots I cropped from the VLC snapshots.

Thanks very much for doing that and going to all that effort. I don't think she looks like Emma Watson at all though and when I tried a few different image searches not one came back as Emma but I didn't find a matching one for our girl either. As I said thanks for that.

Check here under guest cast: https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/no_offence/episodes/1/3/

reply

Thanks for that but there are no photos for the females on that guest cast list and a look at google images didn't show any one that looked like her.

reply

Lauren Francis looks kinda like her but yeah... very hard to find her name.

reply

Close but I don't think it's her.

reply

It got me curious also about her and who she is so I asked on the official No Offence facebook page for the name. Still got no reply.

reply

No Offence official facebook page replied to my request: "#NoOffence but we have failed in your quest. This actress was a Supporting Artist and we don't keep specific details on which Supporting Artist plays which character. Sorry."

We will never know.

reply

Oh well. Thanks for trying.

reply

Not a very 'Official' reply?!! Maybe the official facebook page isn't so official after all. If it was surely they would be able to answer your question about a cast member, albeit a minor one?
