With a starring role in a major British film and a lead part in a US TV series, Florence Pugh is well on her way to becoming the UK's next big export.

The Oxfordshire born actress - and sister of striking After Dark star Toby Sebastian - got her first big break after being cast in writer-director Carol Morley's much buzzed about film The Falling. Released April 24 2015, Pugh features in the production opposite Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams, playing one of a group of girls in a 1969 school who become victims to a mysterious epidemic. Following its debut at last year's London Film Festival, the pretty blonde has now been cast as the lead in American television drama Studio City alongside Will & Grace's Eric McCormack. The role see her play Cat, a rising singer/songwriter living with her singer/songwriter-turned celebrity drug dealer dad.
