Behind the Breakout: Freya Tingley

Freya Tingley was just 17 when her parents agreed to let her give Hollywood "a shot" for a year. But giving it "a shot" doesn't quite describe what the young Aussie actor did. Freya arrived guns a-blazing.

On the day of her 18th birthday — after hundreds of auditions over that year — Freya booked a lead role in the Netflix series Hemlock Grove, and the rest, as the clichéd saying goes, is history.

Here we speak to Freya about "losing" to Jennifer Lawrence, training on the job, and her Insta-famous curry obsession.
