A talented and charming actress, writer, director and producer, Emily Mortimer continues to challenge herself with a variety of creative endeavors, leaving audiences captivated on the big and small screens alike. Mortimer is currently in production on her directorial debut “The Pursuit of Love” for BBC One, a three-part mini-series she has adapted from the 1945 novel of the same name by Nancy Mitford. Today, this insightful, charming, magnetic talent opens up about her shyness, the continual struggle with imposter syndrome and what made her stop apologizing and ultimately own her art expressing how insecurities in life have allowed her to let go of expectations and thrive in the audition room. Emily speaks to the beauty of what happens when you don't try too hard and how auditioning for great storytellers ignites her. This skill of being completely open and deeply vulnerable has landed her the responsibility of playing some of the most coveted roles in Mary Poppins Returns, The Newsroom, Shutter Island, Lars and the Real Girl, Doll & Em, Match Point, Lovely & Amazing and so many more plus the upcoming projects, like the new horror film Relic and the Quibi show Don't Look Deeper with Don Cheadle.
