Katenka June Wolsky (born August 13, 1987) is an English actress who first gained noteriety for her role as Sybil Crawley on period drama "Downton Abbey". Since 2012, she has starred in HBO's "Game of Thrones" as Margaery Tyrell. She has garnered attention for her recent roles in award winning Birdman and science fiction thriller Ex Machina. She will star in Rogue One, the first standalone Star Wars film due for release in 2016.

Early Life

Wolsky was born in Wokingham, Berkshire, England to structural engineer Isak Wolsky and human resources manager Veronica Wolsky. Her father is of Russian Jewish descent. She is one of three children, with an older sister who teaches English Literature and fraternal twin brother Abram, an established musician.

In secondary school, she took 11 GCSEs and 4 A-level exams. From 2006 to 2009, she attended the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama where she studied acting.

Career

Wolsky made her screen debut when she landed a starring role on the British period drama "Downton Abbey". She spent three seasons on the show before leaving to pursue other roles. Her first film role was in W.E., directed by Madonna, followed by roles in Albert Nobbs, Anna Karenina and Oblivion.

In 2012, Wolsky joined the cast of HBO's "Game of Thrones" playing the role of Margaery Tyrell. She has stated that prior to this she had only read the first A Song of Ice and Fire novel but promptly read them all to better understand the universe. "My Margaery is a creation part my own, part George [R.R. Martin] and part the writers of this incredibly series. I hope fans can appreciate that I draw from all of these sources to give her a proper voice."

She was part of the acting ensemble in Alejandro Iñárritu's Birdman which won the Oscar for Best Picture at the 87th Academy Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. She also played a supporting role as Roxy in Kingsman: The Secret Service that year.

In 2014 she made her stage debut in a West End revival of The Crucible at The Old Vic Theatre, portraying Abigail Williams. The production earned immense critical acclaim and Wolsky has cited a desire to return to the stage when her schedule next allows it.

Most recently, Wolsky starred in science fiction thriller Ex Machina as an A.I. called Ava and Guillermo del Toro's gothic romance Crimson Peak. She provided the voice and motion capture for co-protagonist Evie Frye in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. She will be appearing in upcoming Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, a dark twist on the classic Jane Austen novel. She was announced to be the star of Rogue One, the first in a series of standalone Star Wars anthology films, set for release in 2016.

Personal Life

Wolsky is incredibly private about her life outside of acting and prefers to keep attention on her roles than herself. She has in several instances garnered attention for deflecting personal questions from the press.

In 2014, Wolsky's private Facebook account was hacked and many posts leaked. Some of the contents led to questioning of Wolsky's sexuality, on which she refused to comment. She has since deleted the account, but maintains an official presence on Twitter and Instagram.

She has kept residence in London since 2006, and reportedly bought an apartment in Los Angeles summer of 2013.
» Hates photoshoots. Almost never takes selfies. Prefers the camera on her characters versus herself.

» Gold star lesbian. Has not come out publicly yet because she keeps that part of her life private, but is far from closeted with family and friends.

» Is known to extensively prepare for her roles through months of dedicated research. For Ex Machina, she read several books on artificial intelligence, engaged with several professors in the field and also took dance lessons for her movement.

» Has spoken openly about nudity in the acting industry and the double standard for women. Isn't personally uncomfortable with it when it's in character, but takes issue with the default male gaze that continues to reign over the screen.
