Sophia Myles is an English actress. Initially hoping to study philosophy at University of Cambridge, for which she secured a place, Myles instead turned to acting after television writer Julian Fellowes saw her perform in a school play, casting her in his series.

After this, Myles continued to receive work in films such as FROM HELL (2001), but her breakthrough role came in the form of Erika in UNDERWORLD (2003) before she won the role of Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward in THUNDERBIRDS (2004).

Myles moved to Hollywood where she played the main role of Isolde in the romantic film TRISTAN & ISOLDE (2006) before appearing in films including UNDERWORLD: EVOLUTION (2006), DRACULA (2006) and HALLAM FOE (2007). In 2014, Myles starred as geologist Darcy Tirrel opposite Mark Wahlberg and Stanley Tucci in the sci-fi action blockbuster TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION.

Myles later has also received critical acclaim for her television work, particularly as Madame de Pompadour in DOCTOR WHO (2006) and Rebecca Bishop in A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES (2018–2021).

Myles won a BAFTA for Best Actress for her role as Kate in HALLAM FOE (2007) and was also nominated for a BIFA at the British Independent Film Awards for the same film. She has also won several other awards at various other film festivals across the world.
