Susannah Fielding is a highly accomplished English actress who has built a versatile career spanning classical theatre, television dramas, and contemporary comedy. Born in Poole, Dorset, she spent her formative years in Havant, Hampshire, raised in a single-parent household. Her passion for performance sparked during her time at Christ’s Hospital school in West Sussex, prompting her to pursue formal training at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Her professional career quickly gained momentum when she graduated early to make her National Theatre debut in The Rose Tattoo. Fielding rapidly established herself as a formidable talent on the British stage, earning critical acclaim and the prestigious Ian Charleson Award for her brilliant portrayal of Portia in the Almeida Theatre's 2014 production of The Merchant of Venice. Her theatrical success seamlessly translated into television, where she initially landed roles in major British programs such as Wallander, Doctor Who, and Black Mirror.

Fielding expanded her reach internationally by starring as Brooke in the American CBS sitcom The Great Indoors alongside Joel McHale and Stephen Fry. Returning to the UK, she achieved widespread recognition and acclaim for her sharp comedic performance as co-host Jennie Gresham in BBC's This Time with Alan Partridge opposite Steve Coogan. Through consistent lead roles in popular dramas like Sticks and Stones and Life, she has solidified her reputation as one of Britain's most reliable and dynamic screen talents.
