Kathleen Chalfant recently sat down to chat about her role in the Peacock espionage thriller series, “The Copenhagen Test.” Alongside lead actor Simu Liu, Chalfant stars in the show as the mysterious Orphanage Boss, St. George.

In “The Copenhagen Test,” the series follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, played by Simu Liu, who discovers that his brain has been hacked, allowing hackers access to everything he sees and hears. Now, caught between his agency and the unknown hackers, he must constantly perform to uncover the truth and reveal where his loyalties lie.

Reflecting on her experience on the show, Chalfant shared, “It was great working on ‘The Copenhagen Test.’ It’s always fun to step into the world of spy agencies led by women of a certain age. It was a wonderful crowd to be a part of, and both Simu and Brian were fantastic!”
