1st Act: Sofia Barclay
Meet tomorrow's stars today.
SOFIA BARCLAY
Where are you from?
London born. I moved to LA in January 2020, moved back to London when I was cast in We Are Lady Parts. All my stuff is in storage in LA.
What first drove you to become an actor?
When I was 13, I saw Janet McTeer playing Petruchio in Taming of The Shrew at the Globe. She was so masterful and funny and sexy, I thought ‘Oh, I gotta do this for a living!’.
Which of your projects or roles are you most proud of?
Love Again with Priyanka Chopra, Sam Heughan and Celine Dion, because it’s a dream come true playing a comedic role in a big rom com. I’m super proud of having co-written a TV show with Isla van Tricht, something I never thought I could do. I’m also proud of myself every time I get on stage to do stand-up.
What would your dream role or co-star be?
Stanley Tucci because…he’s Stanley Tucci. Role, Lara Croft? Can I be in the next Tomb Raider movie with Le Tucci?
The most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given?
Do all the work and prep you need to and be super specific about it but when you go on stage, forget about it. Literally throw it all away.
Where will we see you next?
In Love Again, Ted Lasso and The Spiderverse.
