| Naomie Harris is best known for her work opposite Cillian Murphy and Brendan Gleeson in the British import 28 Days Later, though upcoming appearances in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Miami Vice should introduce her to a whole new audience. |

| We love Naomie Harris for the volatile set of roles she has taken on as well as her thoroughly extroverted personality -- elements that are complemented by her seriously attractive features. |

Naomie Harris was born on September 6, 1976, in London, England. Raised by a single mother, Naomie knew from a very early age that she wanted to eventually pursue a career as an actress. When she was a young girl, Naomie enrolled in an after-school program at the Anna Scher Theatre School -- where she would eventually go on to join the institute’s Young Professionals Group. Spurred on by Anna Scher, Naomie took the plunge and began auditioning for plays, television shows, commercials, and movies.
In 1987, at the age of 11, Naomie made her professional debut on a British television show called Simon and the Witch. Three years later, Naomie scored a starring role on an adventure series entitled Runaway Bay -- though the show only managed to stick around for 26 episodes. She jumped directly from that series to another television gig, The Tomorrow People, in 1994, but once again found herself out of a job when the show ended a year later.
Though she had no intention of abandoning her burgeoning acting career, Naomie felt it was important to continue her education and consequently began studying Social and Political Sciences at Cambridge University. Upon graduating in 1998, Naomie received formal training as an actress at the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School -- where she remained until 2000.
Following her stint at the Old Vic, Naomie appeared in several obscure British films and worked for free in low-rent theatrical productions. In 2002, Naomie successfully landed a role in director Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later -- a zombie film that would eventually go on to become one of the most successful sleeper hits of the year. The role brought Naomie the kind of fame she had been dreaming of her entire life, and it wasn’t long before the actress was appearing in such high-profile projects as 2004’s After the Sunset (opposite Pierce Brosnan and Woody Harrelson) and 2005’s critically-acclaimed Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story.
Naomie has two highly anticipated films scheduled for release in 2006, director Michael Mann’s big-screen Miami Vice adaptation and the long-awaited sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean. Additionally, look for Naomie to pop up in the third and final installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series in 2007. |
