Angel Coulby was born on the 30th of August 1980. She grew up in the north of London, Finsbury Park, but once she had made her decision to pursue acting, moved to Edinburgh to attend the Queen Margaret University where she studied a degree in acting.
Shortly after graduation, she got her first role in the BBC sitcom ‘Orrible (written and starring Johnny Vaughan). Her characters name was Shiv Clark and she appeared in four episodes. Though the show was labelled a failure by many, Angel still went on to appear in several hit TV shows and films after this first appearance (amongst them Casualty, Imagine Me & You with her Merlin Co-Star Anthony Head and Hustle).
Before landing the role that would make her a star, she also managed to snag a small role in the 2006 Doctor Who episode The Girl In The Fireplace opposite David Tennant, Billie Piper, Noel Clark and Sophia Myles.
ANGEL ON “MERLIN”:
In 2008 Angel came to our screens for the first time as the future queen of Camelot in the BBC family hit show Merlin. Acting together with Bradley James, Colin Morgan, Katie McGrath, Richard Wilson and Anthony Stewart Head, she has been praised by many critiques for her portrayal of Guinevere, as it sets different light to a usually rather typecast character and the emotional depth and passion we can see when she plays Gwen have solidified her as a serious actress in England.
