Sophie Turner first captured widespread attention in 2011 when she became part of a breakout ensemble cast on HBO’s groundbreaking fantasy series Game of Thrones (2011– ). The show, which quickly became a global phenomenon, introduced a wave of talented young actors, many of them British or Irish, and Sophie was among the most memorable. Born in Northampton, U.K. on February 21, 1996, she and her family relocated to Warwick just two years later. It was there, at the age of three, that Sophie began her journey in acting with the respected Playbox Theatre Company. From the very start, she was drawn to the world of drama, spending her early years immersed in youth theater and even organizing informal productions with friends during her time at Warwick Prep School and later at Kings High School.
Despite her passion and early exposure to the stage, Sophie had no formal acting credits when she auditioned for Game of Thrones. Still, her striking pale-gray eyes and natural presence made an impact. She was cast as Sansa Stark, the wide-eyed and idealistic daughter of the noble Stark family. As the series unfolded, Sophie brought a compelling mix of innocence, pride, and quiet resilience to the role, guiding Sansa through a harrowing transformation—from a naïve young girl dreaming of royalty to a politically ensnared pawn in a brutal game of power.
The success of Game of Thrones opened new doors for Sophie, quickly elevating her from relative unknown to rising star. Her first major film role came in 2013 with the indie psychological thriller Another Me, where she played the lead as a teenager confronting a mysterious double. The following years saw her expand her range with roles in the action-comedy Barely Lethal (2015), and in 2016, she took on the iconic role of Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse. Sophie continued to explore diverse characters, starring in the thriller Josie (2017) and the romantic sci-fi comedy Time Freak (2018).
As Game of Thrones neared its conclusion, Sophie returned to the X-Men universe for Dark Phoenix (2019), once again portraying Jean Grey in what would be the final installment of the main X-Men film series. Throughout her career, Sophie Turner has demonstrated a rare ability to evolve with her roles, bringing depth and authenticity to every character she plays. From her early days at Playbox Theatre to the international spotlight, she has remained a steadily rising force in the world of entertainment.
Sophie Turner’s most acclaimed film to date is Do Revenge (2022), which received widespread praise and stands out as her highest-rated project. On the other hand, her least favorably reviewed movie is Josie (2018), which didn’t quite resonate with audiences or critics in the same way. Sophie Turner’s filmography showcases a range of roles, but these two films represent the high and low points in terms of critical reception. While Do Revenge helped solidify Sophie Turner’s presence in the film industry, Josie remains a more modest entry in her career.
