Natalie Sutherland was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is the daughter of British actress & director Althea Dando and Mr John Sutherland. Starting in the theatre, Natalie's mother was directing a show, when one of the young girls couldn't perform at the last minute. Ms. Dando asked her daughter to step in for that night's performance. Natalie, already quite the little business woman, agreed to do the performance, only if her mother would agree to buy her the roller-skates she wanted. The agreement was in place and Natalie stepped on to perform. She was won over by the lights, stage, audience and the magic that happened that evening on that stage. Natalie continued performing in theatre for the next ten years, taking her into commercials and then film. A dancer of 15 years, Natalie reveled in Musicals, such as 'Gypsy', 'Grease', and 'Oliver' to name a few. Making the leap to Hollywood was the best thing Natalie ever did. Landing a role in 'Oliver' for Paramount Studios theatre department had her performing for Prince Edward and starring alongside 'Ugly Betty's' America Ferrera. Natalie then landed a role in the award winning 'Trainspotting'. Picking up 2 LA Drama Critics Awards and extending from a 6 week run to a 6 month run, put Natalie's name on the map. She then went on to TV, commercials and film in Los Angeles, starring as the lead in the worldwide blockbuster movie 'Birth Rite'. Natalie resides in Los Angeles, but works between the US and Great Britain.
