Meet Mariana di Girolamo, the Breakout Star of ‘Wild Horse Nine’

The Chilean actress makes her English-language debut in Martin McDonagh’s "Wild Horse Nine," opposite John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell and more.

“I don’t know the scale in [terms of] Hollywood movies,” says Mariana di Girolamo, “but for me, this is a huge movie.”

It’s not just her: the movie, “Wild Horse Nine,” which is the Chilean actress’ English-language debut film, has been one of this year’s awards season front-runners since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September. Di Girolamo stars alongside Hollywood heavyweights John Malkovich, Sam Rockwell, Steve Buscemi and Parker Posey, and is directed by Oscar winner Martin McDonagh.

So, safe to say it’s a huge movie no matter your industry experience.

“Wild Horse Nine” follows two CIA agents, played by Malkovich and Rockwell, who are stationed in Santiago ahead of the Chilean coup d’état in 1973. They travel to Easter Island on what is billed as a vacation, where they encounter two young Chilean women, played by di Girolamo and the Argentine actress Ailín Salas.

Di Girolamo, who is 36, was working in Mexico when her team reached out to say that McDonagh was looking for a Chilean actress for his new movie.

“That doesn’t happen very often, so I was very excited and I prepared three scenes,” she says. “I was shooting a Mexican series, and some of the cast helped me to prepare my scenes in English. I read the script and I felt like, ‘Wow, what is this? How is this possible?
