Sophie McShera

Sophie McShera will always be Daisy to me, the kitchen maid in Downton Abbey whose quiet ambition and gradual self-discovery she played with real tenderness. A Brunel University graduate from Holme Wood, she also showed her range as the spiteful stepsister Drizella in Disney's Cinderella. I appreciate performers who commit fully to supporting roles rather than chasing the spotlight, because they are what let an ensemble breathe. There is a steady, unflashy dedication in her work that I find genuinely admirable, and I am curious to see which role she sinks her teeth into next.
