Rising Stars: Haley Lu Richardson


18 05 2016

Having landed parts in two upcoming feature films, The Edge of Seventeen and Split, 21 year old US actress Haley Lu Richardson is one to watch out for.

Knowing that acting was the career path for her from an early age, Richardson persuaded her parents to move to Hollywood at the age of 16 and has slowly been landing roles ever since. Her most notable credit to date is film The Bronze, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival in 2015, and saw her play the role of young gymnast Maggie Townsend, appearing alongside Big Bang Theory's Melissa Rauch. Richardson, who was previously a competitive dancer, has also been seen in the TV series Recovery Road and had minor roles in a handful of other shows, including Ravenswood and Your Family or Mine.
