Emma Cleasby is an English theater, television, and film actress. She is best known for her role as Megan in the 2002 horror film Dog Soldiers, directed by Neil Marshall.
Career and Early life[edit]
Cleasby grew up in Cumbria and at first originally decided on a career in the theatre as a set designer. Gradually, whilst living in Newcastle, she started acting, combining it with part-time work as a teacher for autistic children. In 1999, she took the plunge and moved to London and over the past couple of decades, she's found herself working full-time as an actress.
She gained a degree in drama from the University of Hull, and studied at the L'Ecole Philippe Gaulier. She has appeared on stage in productions of Private Lives, The Islander, Night Swimming, Vurt and Robin Hood. She has also appeared in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, directed by Adrian Noble, and as "Lady Anne" in the English Shakespeare Company's Richard III, directed by Michael Bogdanov.[1]
On television, Cleasby has appeared in British TV series Heartbeat, Holby City, Doctors, 55 Degrees North and Coronation Street, as well as one-off dramas Sweet Dreams and The Project.[1] Her appearance in Mogwai's music video Stanley Kubrick from EP+6 filmed in black and white placed her in the role of a beautiful woman with the video's characteristic of close unblinking expressions throughout. She has appeared in two films by director Neil Marshall - as Megan in the 2002 horror film Dog Soldiers - and Katherine Sinclair in Doomsday.[1] Cleasby also stars in the horror thriller F under the direction of Johannes Roberts.[2]
