Pretoria-born actress Marié Botha reveals how she landed the role as Magpie on the fourth episode of ‘The Penguin’ and more.I play Magpie, a villain with a split personality and a penchant for shiny things. When we see flashbacks of Sofia Falcone in Arkham Asylum, we meet Magpie. She befriends Sofia, but eventually paranoia takes over and Sofia starts to see Magpie as a threat and a spy. This is the first time we see Sofia truly pushed to the edge and the outcome is dire.

The work she was doing allowed me to see what it takes to lead a show of this size and calibre, and I am so ready to step into that space one day soon.
