Ellis George
Born: 30th August 1998
Episodes Broadcast: 2014
As she entered her teens, Ellis George's mother suggested that she enrol
in drama classes. This led her to join the Young and Talented Stage
School in London, and later the British National Youth Theatre. George
initially trained in singing and dancing as well as acting, but she
eventually came to focus on the latter. Having obtained an agent, her
first exposure to television was via commercials. George was then cast
as schoolgirl Courtney Woods in four episodes of Doctor Who's
2014 season, which starred Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor. Courtney
had only a peripheral involvement in the year's first two installments
-- Deep Breath and Into The Dalek -- but she
featured more prominently mid-season, playing a pivotal role in both The Caretaker and Kill The Moon. It would not be
until the Twenties that George would return to television, with parts in
Small Axe and Grace. She also appeared in several short
films.
