RIMCA KARMAKAR
Actress
Biography: One of a kind
Born in Surrey, UK to BengaIi parents, I gave up a career in Medicine for my love of acting. My first lead role was in Ira Levin's Veronica's Room, staged in trendy Digbeth, Birmingham.
Once back in London, I trained under the Actor's Temple in the Meisner Technique for a number of years before appearing in my first television commercial for Natwest.
I have worked with numerous film production companies in London, and opposite renowned British actor James D'Arcy in Choose to See (Dir. Mary Nighy). One highlight was being highly commended for my mind blowing performance as Navika Patel, the social worker protecting young girls from Female Genital Mutilation, in 2015's Best African Film of the Year, The Lower Cut (Dir. George Kelly).
I also regularly works across London as a roleplayer playing psychiatric patients, doctors and corporate leaders for training purposes.
As an adventurer and environmentalist at heart, I am a keen surfer regardless of windy and cold conditions, and spend my free time supporting worthy causes, such as community organic farms and renewable energy.
