Fassbender on THE AGENCY
Michael Fassbender stars in Paramount+’s new spy drama THE AGENCY, playing Martian, a CIA operative returning from an extended assignment in Ethiopia. The series explores the psychological complexities of a long-time intelligence operative struggling to reintegrate into his previous life.
Fassbender’s character is defined by profound emotional compartmentalization. Having been estranged from his daughter for six years and separated from a romantic relationship in Ethiopia, Martian represents a spy whose professional life has profoundly altered his personal identity.
The actor delves into his character’s moral ambiguity, questioning how two decades in intelligence work have transformed Martian’s ethical boundaries. “What has the journey and the road done to him, and how has his moral compass been shifted?” Fassbender reflects, highlighting the character’s nuanced psychological landscape.
Central to Fassbender’s portrayal is the blurred line between truth and deception. “Lies and truth have become so merged that it’s blurry,” he explains. “You can’t tell the difference… because everything is a lie and the truth.”
THE AGENCY premieres Friday Nov 29 on Paramount+ with two episodes, followed by a linear network debut on Sunday at 9/8c.
