Her Current Gig: Lost babe Ilana. Robinson plays an alluring, bright European – but rumor has it she’s dangerous and likes to get her way. She could even become a series regular next season, but the juicy gossip stops there.
You Know This Face … because the 31-year-old Brit found short-lived success with other TV shows like New Amsterdam, Rome and The Lone Gunmen and movies such as The Merchant of Venice, Hidalgo and The Namesake. Her unique background — English, Scottish, Indian, Burmese, Iranian and Malaysian –makes her a prime pick for any number of exotic roles. .
Why So Fresh? Robinson joins Joseph Fiennes, Jacqueline Bisset and Gerard Depardieu as Julietta in the upcoming biopic Antonio Vivaldi and the film adaptation of 133: Blame Will Kill Your Soul. It’s a true story about two undercover narcotics officers addicted to tracking drug dealers.
In Her Own Words … “I definitely like to play characters that don’t fit any kind of mold; that are slightly offbeat,” she tells iF Magazine. “I can read hundreds of scripts and nothing comes to me; all of a sudden I read one and I start firing up and I know I have to play the role. It happened with [New Amsterdam], it happened with my character on Rome, it’s happened with pretty much everything that I’ve done.”
