1st Act: Mia Threapleton
Meet tomorrow's stars today.
MIA THREAPLETON
Where are you from?
I grew up in both NYC and the UK.
Who or what first drove you to become an actor?
I have always loved and wanted to perform since I was very young. I loved movies and was continuously involved in something acting or drama related at school.
What do people tend to misunderstand about the acting profession?
I suppose the thing that comes to mind is that it’s easy. It has always been impressed on me that it is most definitely not easy.
Which of your projects or roles are you most proud of?
I think I am most proud of my role as Freya in a recent project for Channel 4 called I Am Ruth. It was a very challenging job to do from an emotional perspective.
What would your dream role or co-star be?
I have always loved Wes Anderson’s films. I think if I was ever lucky enough to work with him, I might just explode with excitement!
The most valuable piece of advice you’ve been given?
‘Read the script over and over again.’ I’m dyslexic, which means I often find it hard to retain all the information on the first read through of something.
Is there anything else we should know about you?
I don’t understand any social media. I don’t have it and nor do I want it!
Where will we see you next?
I Am Ruth, C4, alongside Kate Winslet and Cast & Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme in 2025
