Here's a guide to the other movie and TV roles of Black Mirror star Jessica Brown Findlay. After falling in love with ballet at an early age, Jessica Brown Findlay planned to pursue a career in dance, but an operation on her ankle later saw her switch to acting instead. She made her movie debut with the 2011 British drama Albatross which also starred Felicity Jones and Julia Ormond. The movie received mostly good reviews, with particular praise being given to Brown Findlay's performance.
Off the back of Albatross, Jessica Brown Findlay was cast in period British TV drama Downton Abbey, where she played Lady Sybil. She played the role for three years, but despite the incredible popularity of the series, she decided to leave after three seasons to pursue other roles. Lady Sybil died on the show following complications from childbirth. In addition to making two guest appearances on the sci-fi drama Misfits, she also played a major role in Black Mirror season 1 episode 2 "Fifteen Million Merits."
This second episode of Black Mirror was set in a dystopian future where people hope to escape a life of endless labor by going on a talent show. This Black Mirror episode was a showcase for both Daniel Kaluuya and Jessica Brown Findlay, with the latter famously giving a moving performance of the song "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is." Given that it's Black Mirror, however, the romance between Kaluuya and Brown Findlay's characters doesn't end well. After she left Downton Abbey in 2012, Brown Findlay starred in a wide range of movie and TV projects, including the bizarre Colin Farrell fantasy romance Winter's Tale, miniseries Jamaica Inn and dark drama The Riot Club.
Jessica Brown Findlay also had a major part in the 2015 horror film, Victor Frankenstein, starring Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy as the title character; despite offering a mildly inventive take on a well-traveled story, it was a box-office dud. She continued to appear in a wide variety of genres, including a musical biopic about Morrissey titled England Is Mine, 2017 animated adventure Monster Family and comedy-drama The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society alongside Lily James.
Jessica Brown Findlay received praise for her work in brothel drama Harlots, which also starred Samantha Morton and Liv Tyler, and in recent years she has mostly focused on television work. She proved the voice of vampire Lenore in seasons 3 and 4 of Netflix's Castlevania and played a lead role in Peacock's adaptation of Brave New World, which was cancelled after one season. One of her most recent movies was The Banishing, and she has roles in upcoming projects like Iris Warriors and Life After Life.
