(She/Her)
BFA Acting
Belle Nightingale is a 4th year actor from Kent, England. She began loving acting when she realized it gave her the chance to be someone she usually isn’t. Works include Lennox in St Joan of the Stockyards (Jacob Zimmer), Rosa in Concord Floral (Arthi Chandra), Miss White in The Unusual Suspects (Susan Bertoia), and Diana in Pericles (Michael Corbidge). She was also featured in Naked Cinema X.
What was one of the highlights of your UBC experience?
Moving to Canada has been the biggest dream come true, just getting to see the mountains and the ocean every day never fails to make me happy.
What kind of creative work do you see yourself doing in the next few years?
I’d love to collaborate with some of my pals within the next few years, maybe on some short films? Beyond that, I’d love to get into the Film industry in Canada, and while I never imagined myself doing much film or TV work in England as it never used to appeal to me, but recently more British content has been coming out that I’m very interested in, so there’s a lot to explore!
What is your dream role?
Something like Meredith Grey from Grey’s Anatomy! Or a similar kind of show. Or an assassin. Or a spy. Someone mysterious is always fun.
Who is your favourite playwright?
Ella Hickson! She’s written some excellent plays that accompanied me well during many of my own coming-of-age moments.
What are some of your special skills?
My two favourite party tricks to pull out are my very bendy joints, and my go-to Californian accent. If we mean “real” skills, I grew up horse riding and skiing, and I’m not too shabby at playing video games either.
Who would you most like to have dinner with?
If Princess Diana was still around, oh the questions I’d have for her.
