Actor Bio: Lena Headey is a British actress who is best known for her appearances in The Brothers Grimm (2005), Possession (2002), and The Remains of the Day (1993). Headey starred as Queen Gorgo, a heroic Spartan woman in the period film 300 (2006), by director Zack Snyder. She was born Bermuda, where her father, a Yorkshire police cadet, was sent shortly before she was born. She returned to England at the age of 5, where she was brought up in Yorkshire before moving to London in her teens. Headey had not gone to drama school before she became an actress. At the age of 17, Headey’s performance in a one-off show in the company of six school friends caught the attention of a casting agent, who took a photo and asked her to audition. Eventually, Headey was cast in Waterland (1992), which became her big-screen debut. She honed her natural acting talent while filming and also took archery classes and horse training. She also took boxing classes in clubs in south London, where a former boxer had been teaching her to spar. During her film career, spanning over 15 years, Headey has showed her range in a variety of roles, playing characters from Amazon-type warriors and action-minded women in The Cave (2005) and The Brothers Grimm (2005), to a lesbian florist in Imagine Me & You (2005). In addition to her film-work, Headey appeared as Sarah Connor in a TV spin-off of the popular Terminator film franchise, the FOX’s television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008). – IMDb
