Move Over, James Bond. Eidra Park Is the Spy We Need Now.

Ali Ahn, who stars in The Diplomat as the CIA’s London Station Chief, discusses a new era of espionage on screen.

“There are times in my real life when I’m like, ‘What would Eidra do?’ She doesn’t get emotional. She’s just like, okay, ‘This is what we do.’”

Ahn continues, “There is something really comforting about the show in that way—the geopolitics are so intense in this show; they’re not a mirror, but they’re adjacent to what we’re processing [in reality].

The characters, they have solutions and they’re fighting for it. Even if the characters that are complicated and you’re not sure whether they’re really good or bad, you do have a sense of that their mission is still, ‘What is best for the country?’ Even if what they think is best for the country might be wrong.
