Gemma Runaghan

Gemma Runaghan—now there’s a name you don’t hear every day, but if you’re into indie flicks or those gritty, under-the-radar crime dramas, you’ve probably seen her face. She’s popped up in some pretty wild rides over the last decade. Real Gangsters (2013) is one of those movies that gives you a front-row seat to the chaos of organized crime, and Gemma’s role? Not exactly your cookie-cutter damsel; she’s got this sharp edge, like she knows way more than she’s letting on. The movie’s not pulling any punches, either—lots of double-crossing, big personalities, and the kind of tension that makes you clutch your popcorn a little tighter. Jump ahead to The Red Maple Leaf (2016), and suddenly you’re tangled up in this international crime thriller. Politicians, detectives, secrets… the whole nine yards. Gemma doesn’t just blend into the background. She brings this intensity—like, even if she’s not speaking, her presence messes with the vibe in the room. There’s this whole deal with a missing person and the classic “who-can-you-trust” paranoia, and Gemma just fits right into that messy, suspicious world. Then you’ve got The Last Big Save (2019), which, honestly, is a bit of a switch-up. The story’s about second chances, washed-up athletes trying to pull off one last win, and Gemma’s right there in the mix, pushing things forward. She’s not just a sidekick; she’s instrumental—kind of like the glue that keeps these broken characters from falling apart. So, if you’re hunting for performances that stick with you, she’s got you covered.
