Vivienne Cole — London, 2024
"Every character is a world unto herself — I live inside that world until I find the truth in it."
Vivienne Cole is a British-American actress whose career spans two decades of critically acclaimed work in theatre, television, and film. Trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, she made her professional debut at the National Theatre before transitioning to screen with a breakthrough performance that earned her first BAFTA nomination.
Her television work includes starring roles in two HBO prestige dramas and a critically lauded limited series for Netflix, while her film credits encompass independent darlings screened at Sundance and Venice, as well as major studio productions for Universal and A24.
Cole is known for her meticulous preparation, physical transformation, and the emotional precision she brings to every role — regardless of scale.

WHAT THEY SAY
THE GUARDIAN
"Cole commands the screen with a stillness that is more terrifying than any explosive performance — she is one of the most quietly devastating actors working today."
Arts Desk, October 2023
VARIETY
"A force of nature. In Dark Interval, Cole elevates every scene she inhabits; her restraint is surgical and her emotional range is extraordinary."
Film Review, Sundance 2021
TIME OUT
"Her Hedda Gabler at the National was the definitive performance of the decade — viscerally human and utterly devastating. The audience barely breathed."
Theatre Critics Circle, 2016
