Aiysha Hart

Aiysha Hart’s got one of those careers that just keeps you guessing—in a good way. She kicked things off with a bang, starring next to Paddy Considine in "Honour" back in 2014. Not a bad place to start, right? Since then, she’s bounced between indie flicks and big-time TV, always picking roles that actually make you sit up and pay attention. She’s popped up in "Colette," brushed shoulders with legends in "Hope Gap," and brought some real heart to the BAFTA-nominated "Mogul Mowgli." It’s like she’s allergic to being predictable. She’s not just about those moody, artsy films, though. If you’re into TV dramas, you probably caught her in "Line of Duty," which, let’s be honest, is basically British television royalty at this point. And if fantasy is more your thing, she’s out there battling vampires and witches in the SKY/AMC series "A Discovery of Witches." It’s not easy to jump from gritty realism to magical mayhem, but she pulls it off without breaking a sweat. Before all this, Aiysha was actually knee-deep in books—she graduated top of her class in English Literature from King’s College London. Then, instead of going the expected route, she dove headfirst into acting, hitting up post-grad training and never really looking back. There’s something about her choices—sort of fearless, kind of unpredictable. She’s got the brains, the chops, and this vibe that makes you want to see what she does next.
