Actor
Acting
Olivia can currently be seen playing Megan (Magnet Girl) in Disney Plus’s EXTRAORDINARY produced by Sid Gentle films and will be returning for season 2.
She has just filmed a role for the upcoming season of STARSTRUCK and can be seen in series 3 of STATH LETS FLATS.
In 2021 she played Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard in Hilary Mantel’s THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT (RSC/Gielgud Theatre) opposite Ben Miles and Nathaniel Parker, directed by Jeremy Herrin. Her performance garnered praise from critics:
“Olivia Marcus as both Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard make strong impressions in a necessarily macho show.” - Evening Standard ✭✭✭✭
“…the excellent Olivia Marcus as a tiny, menacingly demure Jane Seymour” - The Arts Desk
Olivia also stars as the title role of Yentl in BBC Radio 4’s YENTL THE YESHIVA BOY opposite Richard Fleeshman and dramatised by Kerry Shale.
Other notable credits include a lead role in BBC3 pilot AMICABLE and Simon in Theatr Clwyd/Sherman Theatre’s LORD OF THE FLIES (“a memorable turn by Olivia Marcus making her professional debut” - The Stage).
She is graduate of Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
