Talulah Riley made her film debut as one of the Bennet sisters in Joe Wright's award-winning Pride & Prejudice, also for Working Title and Focus Features.
Since then, she has become one of the U.K.'s busiest young actresses. In 2005, she starred opposite Jennifer Ehle and Kevin Spacey, in Jerry Zaks' staging of The Philadelphia Story at The Old Vic; the following year, she reunited with her Pride & Prejudice screen sibling Rosamund Pike in the first-ever U.K. staging of Summer and Smoke, at the Apollo Theatre under Adrian Noble's direction.
Ms. Riley's television credits include an episode of Poirot, alongside David Suchet; Tom Shankland's telefilm Marple: The Moving Finger, opposite Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple; two episodes of Doctor Who; and a starring role in the performing-arts drama series Nearly Famous.
Her short films include Daisy Gili's The Summer House, with Robert Pattinson; and Marçal Forés' Friends Forever.
She starred in the lead role of Annabelle Fritton in OIiver Parker and Barnaby Thompson's St. Trinian's. That girls' school-set comedy successfully revived the beloved U.K. feature film series, and Ms. Riley is currently reprising her starring role for the directors in the sequel St. Trinian's II: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. In both films she plays opposite Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Gemma Arterton (also of Pirate Radio), Tamsin Egerton, Celia Imrie, Juno Temple, Jodie Whittaker, and Fenella Woolgar.
She was also filming Christopher Nolan's Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellen Page.
