Not many careers reach this level, and Lisa McGrillis is a British actress whose credits reach audiences that rarely overlap otherwise. 'Sex Education' is where the biggest audience of the career showed up. 'Last Night in Soho' belongs on any short list of her work. The name took time to reach the size it has now. Film and television both figure in the career, rather than one alone.
