Bio

Born and raised in Iceland, Briem is the daughter of two musicians: a drummer and a backup vocalist.

She began her acting career at age 9 at The National Theatre of Iceland in an Astrid Lindgred play. As a child actor, she performed in three other stage productions and did several television programs, as well as voice-overs and radio in Iceland.

Briem moved to London at age 16 and began her pursuit of a formal education in theatre. At 19, she was accepted into the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) and studied acting for the next three years.

In addition to a degree in dramatic arts, she also earned the John Barton Award for Stage Fighting.

Since graduating in 2004, Briem has played roles in stage productions including Catalogue of Misunderstanding, for the National Theatre Studios, directed by Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas), and a very successful 5-month West End run of Losing Louis.

On the big screen, Briem played the lead role in the production La Monja (The Nun). She also made guest appearances in the English series Doctor Who and Doctors for the BBC.

Briem is also an accomplished musician and an enthusiastic dancer.
