Naomie Harris - Jill

Harris was born and raised in London, England, the daughter of sitcom writer Lisselle Kayla, a single mother who had emigrated to England from Jamaica as a child.  After graduating in 1998 from Pembroke College, Cambridge with an undergraduate degree in social and political science, Harris trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

A television and film actress since she was nine, Harris only became well-known in 2002 with her lead performance in Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic film “28 Days Later”, opposite Cillian Murphy. In the same year, she starred in the television adaptation of Zadie Smith's “White Teeth”.

Since then, Harris has been cast primarily in supporting roles in big budget films, such as “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End”, and “Michael Mann's Miami Vice”. She also did a comic turn in Michael Winterbottom's well-regarded indie ensemble piece, “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story”, and appears with Josh Hartnett in the 2008 release of “August”. She will next work on Channel 4's adaptation of the novel “Poppy Shakespeare”.
