Meghan Telpner is well known for her role in the movie “arenthood” as a young single mother. She has gone on to play similar roles in television dramas as well as movies, most notably the gripping “A Walk In The Park” with Russell Brand and Ben Stiller as children of a different nationality. Now, Telpner has decided to put her talents to work with an all new series that she will star in and executive produce. The premise of the story is simple enough: a young American woman returns to Ireland to take care of her ailing father who suffers from dementia, at the same time as her own family struggles with national identity conflict.
In fact, Meghan Telpner brings a unique perspective to the character of Anna. Her British accent has the effect of making her seem not quite American, yet her Irish heritage is very much a part of her identity. This, in turn, draws a strong emotional connection between the two. When Anna returns to America, the stresses of her family situation begin to strain her relationship with her adopted brother, Daniel. Once the couple begins to communicate more actively, their relationship grows even stronger.
As you can see, Meghan Telpner has a brilliant way of portraying the character of Anna, the orphaned Irish woman forced to adapt to her new identity and circumstances. Her talent as an actress goes beyond just playing strong female characters, as her acting abilities are equally strong whether she is portraying an American woman or an Irish woman. For example, one of the episodes of the show revolves around the dynamic between Anna and her adopted son, Daniel. In each scene, we watch Anna struggle with accepting her new identity and Daniel struggling to understand his new role as a parent.
