Rebecca is a Scottish actress from the East Coast of Scotland, with Norwegian heritage. She trained at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, graduating with a First Class Pass.
Rebecca began her acting career in her early teens at Dundee Rep, working under the tutelage of Robert Robertson and Alan Lyddiard and appearing in several productions, including the world premiere of They Fairly Mak Ye Work. Although she subsequently went on to university and gained a Master’s degree in International Marketing with Languages, acting remained the passion she could never quite leave behind.
During her time at drama school, Rebecca won the Sam Wanamaker Festival, performing at Shakespeare’s Globe as Emilia from Othello, and took part in a variety of workshops and performances there. She also participated in the Carlton Hobbs Radio Festival.
Her various theatre credits include Desire Under the Elms (Citizens Theatre), The Sound of My Voice (Citizens Theatre and Edinburgh Fringe First Winner) and Pack of Lies (Bill Kenwright Ltd), which toured nationally. Most recently, she performed in Verständnis from Non-Such Theatre Company, a dual English-German language play which toured venues across the Midlands.
Screen credits include Coronation Street (ITV), Jamie Johnson (CBBC), The House of Mirth (Three Rivers Production) and Ashes including various TV Commercials.
Away from acting, Rebecca enjoys developing new skills. She began Ballroom and Latin dancing earlier this year and has already competed in Midlands events. She is also learning Scottish Gaelic.
