Aimee-Ffion Edwards is a Welsh actor, best known for playing key roles in series such as ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ‘Loaded.’ Born and raised in Newport, Wales, she grew up as an athletic girl who liked playing hardcore sports that were considered more suitable for boys. Until she was 14 years old, she played as part of a local youth rugby team where, apart from her, all the players were boys. She also took ballet lessons but preferred outdoor sports more than dancing. However, somewhere down the line, she gained an interest in drama and studied it in school. She also enrolled at the ‘National Youth Theatre’ of Wales. She made her acting debut in 2008, with the supporting role of ‘Sketch’ in the comedy–drama series ‘Skins.’ She got her big career break in 2013, when she began appearing as ‘Esme Shelby’ in the popular British drama series titled ‘Peaky Blinders.’ In 2014, she appeared as ‘Sophie,’ one of the key characters in the comedy–drama series titled ‘Detectorists.’ In the more recent years, she has appeared in TV projects such as ‘Troy: Fall of a City,’ ‘Death in Paradise,’ and ‘Loaded.’
