Emma Greenwell

Emma Greenwell (born January 14, 1989) is an American-born English actress.

She made her acting debut as Mandy Milkovich in the second season of the Showtime comedy-drama Shameless (2012–2016), then appearing as a series regular in the third and fourth seasons, after taking over the role from Jane Levy.

Greenwell also appeared as a series regular on the Hulu drama The Path (2016–2018) and headlined the Starz miniseries The Rook in 2019.

Greenwell was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, to a French mother and an English father.

The family moved back to London's South Kensington neighbourhood before her second birthday.

She attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art for a year.

Greenwell said it was good, but it made her realise she did not want to go to drama school before trying her luck at a pilot season in Los Angeles, California.

Shameless, the Emmy-winning Showtime drama, was her first job.

She booked it when she was 22.

Prior to that she was planning on returning to London.

Booking Shameless forced her to rent a car and find an apartment, so she did not return to London for nine months.

Greenwell is married and the couple have a child together.
