What follows is a world of even deeper intrigue and intrigue, with characters fighting their own battles while battling existential threats to the nation and the world. From X-Men: First Class and "The Acolyte" to The Cotton Club, check out the TV and film roles of "The Agency" stars Michael Fassbender, Jodie Turner-Smith, Richard Gere and more. The way a caseworker becomes an agent (or informant or confidential informant) is through the use of the acronym MICE, which stands for: MoneyIdeologyCompromise (aka Blackmail)Ego. During a dialogue from The Martian in a discussion with Dr. Blake, the acronym "OBE" is incorrectly explained as "Overtaken by Events". In U.S. government agencies, including those in the intelligence community and the Department of Defense, the correct/official explanation for the acronym "OBE" is "Overcome By Events". The opening credits depict the characters and scenes of the series interspersed with mirrored panes. Former CIA Director of Counterintelligence James Jesus Angleton, also known as the “Spy Poet,” described the intelligence game as a “Desert of Mirrors,” a phrase borrowed from a poem by T.S. Eliot called Gerontion (the title is Greek for “little old man,” and the poem is an internal monologue connecting the opinions and impressions of an elderly man describing post-World War I Europe through the eyes of a man who lived most of his life in the 19th century). In the world of intelligence, in the search for truth, it’s hard to tell the difference between reality and its reflection, an illusion if you will, as if one were in a “Hall of Mirrors.” Graham Norton Show: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jaylen Ngonda (2024). Let me preface this by saying that I haven’t seen the original French series it’s based on. I’m also a huge Fassbunder fan, so take that into consideration. I’ve seen others criticize the writing. I just don’t agree at all. It can be very mysterious and a little vague at times, but it all builds and keeps me very intrigued and interested. I felt that the other main actors were very solid in their roles so far. Fassbender is great, but a bit subdued. Although that will obviously change based on the upcoming previews. Also actress Jodie Turner. Smith is new to me, but I’m loving her so far. You can feel things really simmering beneath the surface, so I’m looking forward to the next episodes.
