Jessica Kelly Siobhan Reilly Bio

Jessica Kelly Siobhan Reilly (English actress) is Jessica Kelly Siobhan Reilly. Her performance in After Miss Julie, at the Donmar Warehouse (2003 between 2003 and 2004) was nominated her for a Laurence Olivier Award. Her TV and film credits include Eden Lake (2008) and Sherlock Holmes (2009). Reilly was the daughter of Jack Kelly, a former police officer and hospital receptionist's mom. She was educated at Tolworth Girls' High School in Kingston where she studied GCSE drama. Her grandparents are Irish. Reilly wrote to the producers of Prime Suspect asking to be considered for a role. Six months later, she auditioned for a role on Prime Suspect 4: Inner Circle. This episode was broadcast on ITV 7 May, 1995. In 1996, she starred in an episode of Carlton UK Television period drama series "Bramwell" in the role of an unhappy, young wife, Kathleen Le Saux. Six years later she was brought back together with Helen Mirren in Last Orders. She co-starred with Terry Johnson in four productions: Elton John's Glasses (1997), The London Cuckolds (1998), The Graduate (2000) and Piano/Forte (2006). Johnson composed Piano/Forte and stated she thought Kelly was "possibly the most natural dyed-in-the-wool, deep-in-the-bone actress I have ever worked with". Reilly declared that Karel Reisz was the person who taught her the best way to act. He was her director in The Yalta Game, Dublin 2001. She has stated that, "He was my masterclass." If I had not seen the play, it would have been impossible for me to be Miss Julie.
