She also plays Rose Noble in the BBC series Doctor Who (2023–present).

Early life

Finney was born on 30 August 2003,[1] to a Jamaican mother and an English father of Irish and Italian descent.[2][3] She went to Ashton-on-Mersey School, which was a part of The Dean Trust when she attended. She and her half-sister were raised in Manchester by her single mother.[4][5] She participated in a number of local theatre productions while growing up,[6] including in the University of Manchester's Sackville Theatre,[7] the Royal Exchange Theatre, and the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre.[8][non-primary source needed] She studied performing arts at college.[9] Before her acting breakthrough, she initially gained a following through her TikTok videos about her experiences as a Black British teenage trans woman.[3][5]

Career

At the age of 17 in April 2021, Finney was cast as Kelsa in the Billy Porter film Anything's Possible and Elle Argent in the Netflix series Heartstopper, the latter of which premiered in 2022.[10][11] She had to pull out of Anything's Possible due to COVID-19 travel restrictions impacting her ability to get a United States work visa, leading her to be replaced by Eva Reign.[12] She appeared on GLAAD's second annual 20 Under 20 list.[4]

In November 2023, Finney starred as Rose Noble, the daughter of Donna Noble (Catherine Tate), in the 60th Anniversary Specials of the BBC series Doctor Who.[13][14][15] On 30 August 2023, it was also announced that Finney would appear as a guest judge during the fifth series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK set to begin broadcasting in autumn 2023.[16] In August 2022, it was announced that Finney would star in the upcoming short film Mars as the character Charlie Acaster.
