Olivia Thirlby

Olivia Thirlby was born in New York on October 6, 1986. She grew up there and from an early age began taking acting classes at the American Globe Theatre. A few time later he moved to London, where he once again enrolled in acting classes, this time at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. During one summer he opted to try a combat course at the British Academy of Stage and Screen Combat, and this It earned her to become the warrior girl in the reboot of the violent Dredd (2012).

Olivia’s professional career began in 2006 and she hasn’t been granted a single breather since. Twin Towers drama United 93 was her big screen debut and just a year later she was in the original independent Juno , a teen tragicomedy in which she played Ellen Page ‘s best friend . In 2009 we saw her again in the episode film New York, I Love You , in which she shared shots with renowned actors such as Bradley Cooper or Natalie Portman .

From this moment on, Olivia’s roles would not grow anymore. We saw her in numerous low-cost films with very little popularity: Margaret , Darkest Hour and No Strings Attached are proof that her career was not going to improve. Although at least her secondary character in the drama The Life of Flynn , allowed her to get out of the quagmire and landed the role of a rookie but possible judge in Dredd , the new adaptation of the incorruptible vigilante whose load of violence and action far exceeded the original. After her journey as a woman to take up arms, she decided to return to comedy with Just Before I Go , Courteney Cox ‘s ( Friends ) film debut); and with El guru de las bodas , a crazy humor that is, to date, her last appearance in theaters.

Olivia also has several series to her credit that, although little known, have given her a name in the industry. Kidnapped tells of the search for a fifteen-year-old boy who has been kidnapped and Bored to Death is a comedy about a writer who begins to use a double identity as a private detective after reading several works.
