Millie Bobby Brown has quickly established herself as a one of the industry's most exciting young actresses. Born in Spain to British parents and raised globally ,Brown is one of those rare raw talents who has been able to captivate viewers with her engaging performances at such a young age.

After moving to Los Angeles with her parents when she was eight, Brown quickly garnered industry attention and began to audition. She taught herself to speak with an American accent, and booked a small recurring role on the ABC series Once Upon A Time in Wonderland as "Young Alice."

Brown continued to hone her acting skills, and after a worldwide search for which hundreds of young girls auditioned, booked the pivotal role of "Madison" in the series Intruders for BBC America. The role demanded incredible range from Brown, requiring her at times to play a young girl with strange dreams, to an adult man on a quest for revenge. Following her performance in Intruders, Brown booked guest-starring roles on several hit television shows, including Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy and NCIS.

In 2016, Brown garnered international attention and critical praise on behalf of her performance in the Golden Globe-nominated Netflix series Stranger Things.

The series also took away the prize of "Best TV Show" at the awards ceremony. Stranger Things will return for a second season this October.
