Alexandra Roach

Alexandra Roach graduated from RADA in 2010 after three successful years. Having played the lead in a number of plays, including Juliet in 'Romeo and Juliet', her time at the prestigious drama school was cut short when she won a role in the three hander 'The Door Never Closes' at the Almeida.

Soon after this she was cast alongside Meryl Streep as the young Margaret Thatcher in Phyllida Lloyd's Thatcher biopic, THE IRON LADY. The cast included Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher, Richard E. Grant and Anthony Head. The much-anticipated film was released in the US in December 2011 and the UK in early January 2012 to great success at the box office and award ceremonies alike. In September 2012, Alexandra appeared in ANNA KARENINA for director Joe Wright opposite Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson and Jude Law, and has also appeared in lead roles in Iain Softley's TRAP FOR CINDERELLA and in the adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's PRIVATE PEACEFUL. More recently she starred alongside Nick Frost, Chris O'Dowd and Olivia Coleman in CUBAN FURY.

Alexandra's television credits include the Channel 4 cult conspiracy drama 'Utopia' and the Julia Davis period black comedy 'Hunderby' for Sky Atlantic HD. Other television appearances include roles in 'Being Human', 'The IT Crowd' and 'The Suspicions of Mr Whicher' alongside Paddy Considine, and prior to her acceptance at RADA she had been a television name in her native Wales for many years.
