Sorcha Groundsell

الميلاد 15 فبراير 1998 · Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, UK

Sorcha Groundsell was a Scottish actress who broke out in the states in 2018 when she began starring on the Netflix science fiction series "The Innocents" (Netflix, 2018- ). Born and raised in Scotland, Groundsell first knew she wanted to be an actor at the age of 9. Her family had just relocated to Glasgow, Scotland, and soon after, Groundsell's parents enrolled her in children's drama classes at the Citizens Theater. Groundsell soon fell in love with acting, and before long was immersing herself in classic Hollywood films like "Casablanca" (1942), as well as various animated Disney classics. In watching those films, she realized that acting was a career she could pursue, and by the age of 15 Groundsell had hired an acting coach to take her fledgling career to the next level. Before long she was being cast in plays throughout Scotland, which allowed her to hone her craft night after night on stage. Then in 2015 Groundsell was cast in a supporting role in the dramatic film "Iona" (2015). The critical success of "Iona," which was also Groundsell's feature film debut, gave Groundsell the leverage she needed to pursue screen-acting full time. Over the next few years she appeared on the shows "In Plain Sight" (USA Network, 2008-2012) and "Clique" (BBC Three, 2017- ).
