Mia

About the Job

We’re looking for someone with natural warmth and magnetism. A face that feels familiar without feeling overly recognisable. Someone the audience instantly believes has a rich internal life. Mia is thoughtful, observant, creative and grounded. Before her Set for Life win, she spent years moving through life at a pace that didn’t allow her to fully inhabit it. Her win doesn’t transform her into someone else - it simply changes the rhythm of her days. What matters most is that the actor is capable of holding stillness without losing our attention. We want someone comfortable letting thoughts pass across their face naturally rather than indicating emotion. The smallest moments should feel specific and unforced. There’s a softness to Mia, but also intelligence, taste and lived experience. She feels like someone who has spent years building a meaningful life quietly and carefully. We’re interested in someone with emotional presence.
