Last time we talked about Tony in Skins. Today we’re going to meet Tony’s younger sister played by Kaya Scodelario Though she had a British upbringing, she is actually a Brazil girl and she kept learning Portuguese for a long time until she can speak it rather fluently.
上次,我们谈到《皮囊》中的主角托尼,这次就说说托尼的妹妹的扮演者卡雅•斯考达里奥。虽然是在英国长大,她祖籍却在巴西,并且练就了一口流利的葡萄牙语。
Her parents were divorced and Kaya was brought up by her mother. As she was bullied in early childhood and dealt with low self esteem, her passion for drama became an outlet for her. She decided to pursue acting at 14. It was too old for most child stars. But it’s never late for her.
很小的时候,父母就离婚了,斯考达里奥由妈妈抚养长大。因为小时候常挨打,是个自卑的小女孩,表演这条道路算是让她看到了希望之光。直到14岁,她才定下表演道路。对于童星来说,这个年纪确实不小了,但,她可是斯考达里奥哦。
Then she went to the screen test for Skins. Upon her arrival there she felt she was too young and became discouraged, but a producer stopped her and asked her to read for the part. It’s really hard to imagine a girl with no prior acting experience to get this chance, but she succeeded.
接着,她便去了《皮囊》试镜,却突然觉得自己太过年少而想要放弃。在一位制片人的鼓励下,她最终完成了这场试镜。谁都没有想到的是,没有任何表演经历的她,一举拿下了这个角色。
She cast in the first series of Skins in 2007 as Effy and was renowned for having very limited lines. But her performance won her popularity and gradually she became the central character in the 2009 series after the cast had been replaced with a new generation of characters.
2007年,她出演《皮囊》第一季。她所扮演的角色说的台词少得可怜,但是她的表演却征服了观众,2009年在演员大换血时,她成功留下,并成为主要角色。
At the same time, she also sought additional career opportunities. She joined the elite agency Models 1 and soon became the cover model for SUPERSUPER Magazine and also appeared in sci-fi thriller Moon. In addition, she appeared in the 2010 blockbuster, the Clash of the Titans
同时,她也没有放弃其他机会。她和Models 1 签约,并迅速成为伦敦SuperSuper杂志的封面明星。她也同样出现在科幻恐怖小说《Moon》里面,也更是在商业大片《诸神之战》中得到了亮相的机会。
In April 2010, Kaya confirmed her casting as Cathy in a new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights .The film is slated to premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September 2011. As Skins is a rather controversial drama, it would keep us thinking whether the rebellious teenage girl can successfully portray the classical figure. It will be a contest between the new and the classic. Go and see.
2011年4月,她确定出演新版《呼啸山庄》担任主角凯茜,该片也将在2011年威尼斯电影节上首映。饱受争议的《皮囊》里的叛逆女孩是否能重塑这个经典形象?这算得上新生代演员对经典的一次挑战吧,那就让我们来瞧瞧吧!
