Biography
Laura is an award-winning performer, with notable credits across film, TV and animation.
Her most recent appearances were in ITV Series THE LADY as well as the hard-hitting SUSPECT: THE SHOOTING OF JEAN CHARLES DE MENEZES for Disney+ as US whistleblower Lana Vandenberghe who helped expose the injustice surrounding the murder of Jean by the Metropolitan Police – Laura then pivoted to the BBC’s THIS CITY IS OURS, opposite Sean Bean and Hannah Onslow charting the criminal underworld in Liverpool, showcasing her dynamic versatility. She has just wrapped on the second season.
Prior to that, Laura made a surprise reprisal to her role of ‘Sonia’ in GAVIN AND STACEY: THE FINALE – the 2024 special was both a huge commercial and critical success, breaking UK TV Records with an audience of nearly 20 million viewers. Other recent screen credits include ‘Val’ in JOAN opposite Sophie Turner as well as starring as ‘Dyan Cannon’ opposite Jason Isaacs in ARCHIE (ITVX).
We can look forward to seeing Laura in the Disney+ animated series RHONA WHO LIVES BY THE WATER.
