Inspired, not pushed, by her parents, both dedicated professional actors, Pippa Rathborne never thought of being anything but an actor since she was six or seven years old, when she had an often regretted, possibly mistaken, epiphany. She has worked in theatre, TV and film since she was 22. She has a wide dramatic and light comedic range in both contemporary and classical texts. Born and based in London, she has toured the United Kingdom, and also worked in Europe and Hong Kong, in everything from modern English classics and Shakespeare to improvised comedy and murder mysteries. She is also an experienced role-player.
