Rosamund Pike
Born in
London, England in 1979, Rosamund Mary Elizabeth Pike was the sole child of
Caroline (Friend) who was the classical violinist's mother, as well as Julian
Pike, an opera musician dad. Both parents were extremely hard-working and she
traveled extensively across Europe during her childhood. Pike went to Bristol's
Badminton School and started acting at the National Youth Theatre. Pike was
only 23 when she was cast in "Romeo and Juliet" at the National Youth
Theatre. She was then recognized by an agent and signed. While her debut film
was a huge-budget action film, her work was mainly in smaller independent
movies like Promised Land (2004) and The Libertine (2004). She was awarded the
Best Supporting Actress Award at The British Independent Film Awards for the
film. Pride & Prejudice (2005) was her first feature film. Following a
brief appearance in Hollywood, Doom (2005) and Fracture (2006) followed. She
returned to film, delivering outstanding performances in three lesser films.
She was also in Johnny English Reborn (2011) as well as the sci-fi thriller
Wrath of the Titans (2012). Alongside Tom Cruise as her female character in
Jack Reacher (2012), she returned to action movies.
