Biography

Who Is Jessica Henwick?

Jessica Henwick was born in Surrey, England in 1992 and is 34 years old. Credited on films since 2009, as an actor. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.

Jessica Yu-Li Henwick, born on 30th August 1992, is a notable British actress, writer, and director with a robust career commencing in 2009. Jessica, who hails from Surrey, is the daughter of a Singaporean-Chinese mother and a Zambian-born English father. Her father, Mark, is an author known for his urban fantasy series, 'Bite Back'. Jessica fine-tuned her acting talent at Collingwood College in Camberley and later trained at Redroofs Theatre School. Her career skyrocketed in June 2009 when, encouraged by her mother, she pursued a casting call in Chinatown, London, landing her the lead role of Bo in the CBBC series Spirit Warriors. This marked her as the first actress of East Asian descent to land a leading role in a British television series.

With her debut in professional theater came her 2013 performance in the international premiere of Running on the Cracks, based on a book written by Julia Donaldson. This performance increased her visibility in the industry, leading her to roles in television series like Game of Thrones, Iron Fist, Netflix's The Defenders, and Luke Cage. Further contributing to her international recognition, Henwick took part in several globally acclaimed cinema projects, including Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Matrix Resurrections. Not only recognized for her acting prowess, but Henwick is also highly regarded for her writing, with Amazon picking her young-adult series, Nancy Wu Done It. Apart from acting and writing, Henwick directed her short film 'Bus Girl', which received a nomination for a BAFTA award. Throughout her career, Henwick's performances have frequently been met with positive reviews, further solidifying her position in the film industry.
