Bio

Lorraine Bruce is an English actress best known for her starring role as Denise in the television drama series The Syndicate and its American remake Lucky 7, both of which are about a group of co-workers who win the lottery, only to discover it doesn't necessarily improve their lives.

Bruce wanted to be an actress from the age of two. The reaction from her parents, who both were entertainers, was a mixture of pride and dismay.

It became apparent as the years went by and the tales enacted in the living room and garden grew into school plays - and a remarkable performance as a bearded Fagin in Oliver! drew rave reviews from the local press - that this was not a phase, but rather a grand passion.

Bruce won a place in drama school at the Academy for Live and Recorded Arts in London, and after three years spent studying the delights of Shakespeare, Miller and Lorca, she embarked on a career as an actress.

She played some of the most notable rep theatres in the UK and also worked with some of the foremost directors in British theatre, including Rufus Norris (Vernon God Little at the Young Vic), and spent several years in the West End - as Madame Thenardier in Les Misérables at the Queens Theatre and as Toine in Piaf.

During this time Bruce worked extensively as a character actress on British television, which led to a lead in the British series The Syndicate, on which Lucky 7 is based. She is the only British cast member who was cast in the U.S. version of the show.

Her birthday is 18 June.
