She/Her

Eleanor O’Brien is an Irish actor from Limerick, known for her distinctive blend of depth and wit. Recently nominated for Best Actress at the 2026 IFTA Awards for her performance as Peggy in the Irish-language film Báite (Baw-cha), Eleanor was proud to share the category with some of the finest actors of her generation. A dynamic stage and screen performer, Eleanor has worked across everything from contemporary plays to musical theatre, appeared alongside Brian Cox in The Last Right, and most recently in the BBC’s Lynley. She is now excited to bring her energy and creativity to the London scene. Her dream role would have been Gollum if Andy Serkis hadn’t gotten there first. However, she would also be thrilled to play a vampire, inspired by a childhood obsession with The Little Vampire. With a passion for comedy, musicality, and the occasional sport, her versatility and joyful spirit ensure she’s always ready for the next challenge. When not on stage or screen, you’ll find her in the garden, having a cold plunge in a lake, or hunting down a restorative massage at any hour of the day.
