  • In a farewell message, she thanked the show’s cast and crew and called Iglė “awfully nasty, but damn fun to play.”

Viewers of Lithuania’s long-running series ‘Serious Matters’ will no longer see Dovilė Kundrotaitė as Iglė. The actress is leaving the LNK show as its ninth season begins, after seven years in the role.

Iglė became one of the series’ most recognisable characters, and Kundrotaitė experienced a wide range of reactions from viewers during her time on the programme. She described the seven-year journey as a separate era in her career.

Kundrotaitė also said the series helped her mature as an actress and prepare for later film roles. In a social media farewell, she looked back at joining television after finishing her acting studies in 2017, despite initially hesitating because she had been taught that appearing on television could harm an actor’s career.

After accepting an audition for the series ‘Meilė gydo’, she received a role that eventually led her to ‘Serious Matters’. She thanked director Džiugas Siaurusaitis, the producers, the screenwriter, her colleagues and the wider creative team. Saying goodbye to Iglė, she wrote: “You were awfully nasty, but it was damn fun to play you.”

You were awfully nasty, but it was damn fun to play you.
