Bio

Young New Zealand actress Thomasin McKenzie drew international acclaim in Debra Granik’s 2018 film, Leave No Trace. A string of projects followed, such as Justin Kelly’s The True History of The Kelly Gang, David Michôd’s The King, portraying the influential Philippa of England, and Graysorn’s Thavat’s The Justice of Bunny King. Prior to this worldwide momentum, Thomasin diligently laid the foundations of her career in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Her first professional screen role was in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit in 2013, followed by the prescient lead in Consent: The Louise Nicholson Story. She memorably played Elsa Korr in Taika Waititi’s Oscar-nominated Jojo Rabbit, and Lola in Jane Campion’s Power of The Dog. 2021 saw the culmination of a series of projects: Edgar Wright’s horror, Last Night in Soho, M Night Shyamalan’s thriller, Old, and the BBC adaptation of Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, as the central character, Ursula.

When considering a new script, Thomasin makes a point of selecting roles which will challenge or augment her point of view. Regardless of the scale of the project, Thomasin approaches her characters with fervent curiosity and humility. It is this grace which has seen her awarded the Breakthrough Performance Award at the National Board of Review Awards, New York, and a nominee for numerous others. Seldom not on set, in her downtime, Thomasin resides in Wellington. As the daughter to Miranda Harcourt, and granddaughter to Dame Kate Harcourt, Thomasin continues to burnish a remarkable family acting legacy.
