Michelle Duncan (Bryony)
In "Driving Lessons” Duncan plays Bryony, a warm and funny Scottish
lass who helps Ben lose some of his inhibitions on a whirlwind trip
to Edinburgh with Evie. "I'm still at the stage of finding everything
slightly overwhelming,” she said endearingly, "I've loved working
with Julie Walters - I wanted to tell her she is very like my mum,
and she has lovely feet! And Rupert reminded me of my brother...”
Born in Perth, Michelle Duncan has known she wanted to be an actress
since she was about three years old! A graduate of St Andrew's University,
Duncan was a fellow student with Prince William - and this year played
his mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, in the television drama
"Whatever Love Means” (Laurence Fox played Prince Charles).
In 2005 Duncan moved from Scotland to London ("Even Scottish plays
audition in London - I had to make the move”) - and she's had some
momentous events since. She toured with Penelope Keith in "Time and
the Conways,” played a 16 year old possessed by a poltergeist in "Sea
of Souls,” received her first screen kiss in "Whatever Love Means,”
then a role in "Sugar Rush” and now salsa dancing in "Driving Lessons.”
