Despite only completing her studies at London's East 15 Acting School last year, Danish actress Linnea Berthelsen is already making waves in the US and UK.

The 23 year old has landed a major role in the upcoming second series of the hit Netflix original Stranger Things, playing new character Roman, joining new faces Bob Newby, played by The Goonies's Sean Astin, and Billy, played by Power Rangers star Dacre Montgomery. With only a handful of minor roles in Danish theatre and short films Teenland and Natskygge under her belt, Berthelsen is relatively unknown outside of Denmark, but with fans around the world eagerly awaiting the return of the sci-fi drama in autumn, she's tipped for big things in the near future.
