Kaya Scodelario on Collider Ladies Night for The Gentlemen
The Big Picture Getting a breakout role in film and television is the dream for many aspiring actors, but just as important are the projects one chooses to take after that breakout gig. Given the business’ habit of boxing artists into the first thing the world sees them do well, it can be a great challenge to amass a diverse body of work. How does one steer clear of those limitations and carve a path forward with volume and diversity? Perhaps by taking a cue from Kaya Scodelario.
In celebration of The Gentlemen’s successful Season 1 run, Scodelario joined me for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to retrace her steps from breaking out via Skins to starring in an acclaimed Guy Ritchie production. How Kaya Scodelario Chose Projects After ‘Skins’ Close One of many reasons Scodelario continues to learn every step of the way? She keeps her film and television credits diverse. While discussing how she picked projects after Skins, Scodelario noted, “I knew that I was at an age where it would be very easy for people to want me to slip into high school roles, or play the girlfriend or the love interest.” However, that’s not what Scodelario wanted for herself.
Scodelario wanted a career path with no limitations, and that’s certainly what she’s created for herself. “I love movies. I love genres. I love that it’s all crazy and weird and different and nostalgic.” She continued, “So yeah, give me a horror film! Yeah, give me sci-fi! Give me aliens, give me mermaids, give me ice-skating.’ Anything.”
“At the beginning of the shoot, there were certain days where they wanted to push the character in a direction that I was uncomfortable with . They wanted to make her the butt of jokes, and I knew that Susie was never gonna be the butt of a joke, because she would never allow herself to be the butt of a joke. I felt very fiercely protective of her, so I discussed it with the relevant parties and said, 'She will not be the joke of this series.
The Day Scodelario Found Susie Glass Ever since Ella Purnell’s Ladies Night interview for Fallout, I frequently ask about an actor’s experience finding their character. As Purnell put it, she struggles with the first few days of a new production when “you just don’t feel like you’ve really found your feet, you haven’t found the character.” But then that moment comes, and you do that scene that gives you confidence you’ve got a firm grasp on who you're playing.
