The first professional gig I got was Sex Education on Netflix, which was a wonderful and slightly daunting thing for my life.
I relied on the kindness of strangers, and hope one day I’ll be able to repay that. I was very fortunate that I got funding through scholarships and the Scottish government so that I could go. I’ve always acted on instinct I guess I tend to feel something and then work out what it is. I went to drama school at Guildhall in London, which in many ways opened up the world for me-through getting to meet all these different people and learning that there are many different ways to get into a role. My mum and sister are also part of that creative world, and I’ve come to realise how lucky I am to be able to have such in-depth conversations with my family about the work we each do I’m sure it’s brought us all closer together. When I told my dad I wanted to act, I know he thought: Please don’t but he accepted I was just going to have to try to do it anyways. Fortunately, I was accepted for being a loudmouth! People were very kind and generous to me, despite being bored out their heads.
I remember at the dinner table, I would stand on my chair and give long speeches. I think from a very early age I knew it was what I wanted to do as well.
My dad is an actor, and as a kid, we’d go and watch him perform all over Scotland. The star of ‘Sex Education’ and ‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’ reflects on her career thus far-and the training that got her to where she is today.
