Tracy Wiles
Tracy Wiles is an actor.
Tracy Wiles, credited on some jobs as Tracey Wiles, has the kind of British working career that never produces a tabloid photograph and never stops either: radio, stage, television, film, and increasingly a microphone booth. The list she is known by at home is a roll call of long-running series, McCallum, Doctors, Holby City, Ashes to Ashes, EastEnders, Shetland, Top Boy, none of which are among the credits listed here.
What these credits do show is the shape of a jobbing screen actor's filmography. Small, precise film parts: a shop assistant in Bronson, a train passenger in Wild Rose, Mrs. O'Callaghan in Love at First Sight. Then larger ones, Monica Kall in Intrigo: Samaria, and D.I. Jennie Nott in the thriller The Catch.
The interesting turn is the voice work. She is a lift in Good Omens and Tiamat in the animated anthology Secret Level, and she took a BAFTA nomination for her voice work in the fantasy game Baldur's Gate 3, which is likewise not among these credits. Games have quietly become the place where character actors with distinctive voices get the parts television stopped writing, and Wiles is a good example of that migration happening mid-career.

Where to start with Tracy Wiles
The Catch first: it hands her the only substantial role among these credits, a detective inspector working a coastal crime story, and it is the closest thing here to a lead.
After that, follow the voice. Secret Level casts her as Tiamat in an animated anthology built out of video game worlds, and it is the clearest available sample of the register that earned her a BAFTA nomination for games work. Good Omens uses her as a disembodied lift, which is a small joke played very precisely.
The films are for completists. Bronson and Wild Rose are strong pictures with tiny Wiles parts, and Intrigo: Samaria gives her more to hold. Watch them for themselves first and for her second.
