Fola just keeps showing up everywhere you look these days, huh? British-born, trained up at the National Youth Theatre (which, honestly, is kinda the bootcamp for future icons), and Identity Drama School—so you know she’s got the chops. People really started noticing her after she landed Chelsea Arrington in The Night Agent on Netflix. That show basically blew up overnight, sitting pretty at the top of the charts, so if you haven’t watched it yet, you’re probably the odd one out at the group chat. But it’s not like she’s all about just one role. Right after Ten Percent on Amazon, The Guardian clocked her as one of the TV names to keep an eye on—like, you know, the “next big thing” list. And she’s not slowing down, either. The next time you see her, she’ll be sharing the screen with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in Back in Action (again, Netflix—because apparently that’s her playground now). Here’s the thing: Fola’s not just acting. She co-directed the doc Untold Stories: Hair on Set for Sky Documentaries and got herself a BAFTA Emerging Talent nom in 2024 for it. That’s not just a “dabbling in directing” situation; that’s legit recognition. She’s got this energy that makes you wanna keep watching, whether she’s in front of or behind the camera. Just feels like she’s at the beginning of something big, and honestly, it’s kinda exciting to see where she’ll pop up next.
British-Nigerian roots, straight outta London—yeah, that’s the vibe here. Grew up bouncing between Bermondsey and Honor Oak Park, soaking up a bit of both worlds. Started off nerding out on philosophy (not everyone’s cup of tea, honestly), but then, bam, made a left turn into modeling. Didn’t stick to one lane, either. Acting came next, just casually dipped a toe in at the National Youth Theatre and Identity School of Acting. Literally went “just for fun,” not expecting anything major, but hey, sometimes that’s how the best stuff happens. No big dramatic story about a lifelong dream or anything—just a wild ride through a bunch of different interests, picking up new skills along the way. That kind of background? Makes for an actor who’s got a pretty unique perspective, not afraid to mix things up or try something a bit out there. You love to see it, honestly.
