Maeve Dermody (born 2 November 1985) is a UK-based Australian actress.
After a film appearance at 5 years old, her adult acting career has
included work in Australian and British television, theatre, short
films, and movies. She characterises her own acting goal as "to be
able to play different characters every time, without traces of
myself".She is the daughter of Susan Murphy Dermody, a film theorist,
historian, and director. Her father is a psychologist. Dermody's
family encouraged a love of literature and the arts, and supported
performing as well - her mother gave Dermody her first part when she
was 5 years old in the film her mother directed Breathing Under Water
(1993). Dermody attended Mosman High School in Sydney with a
near-perfect UAI (99.97). During high school she was active in drama
classes, as well as the Australian Theatre for Young People, and
furthered her acting education with several courses at the National
Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney.While still in high school,
Dermody began getting roles in Australian television series such as
All Saints (1998), and in short films. Her first major film role was
in the independent thriller Black Water (2007), about a trio of people
trapped in the mangroves of the North Territory by a menacing
Saltwater Crocodile. Dermody's performance in Black Water earned her
multiple nominations for Best Supporting Actress awards in the
Australian film industry. Her next major film role was in Beautiful
Kate (2009), for which she was again nominated for the AFI Best
Supporting Actress Award. She had a lead role in the 2010
well-received film Griff the Invisible, and in the 2012 miniseries
