Perdita Weeks

Perdita Weeks is a Welsh actor, best known for her portrayal of ‘Mary Boleyn’ in the popular TV series ‘The Tudors.’ Affectionately known as “Perdy,” she is a remarkable actor, in spite of not being initially trained in a drama school. This beautiful and naturally talented actor is an art history major who cultivated her acting skills simply by being exposed to film sets at a tender age. According to Weeks, she had no intention of following in her older sister’s footsteps when she was young. However, following her Hollywood debut, with ‘Goggle Eyes,’ her mother, Susan Weeks, agreed to register her and her brother Rollo’s names with the acting school and agency of Sylvia Young. Her mother would pick them up from their boarding school, or “the prison on the hills,” as Weeks referred to it, every time they would get a call for an audition. She is currently represented by ‘UTA’ in the US and ‘Troika’ in the UK.
