27岁澳大利亚演员谢丽-李·沃森将在Netflix新剧《我的灿烂生涯》中饰演年轻牧马人内尔一角，该剧定于8月13日上线[1]。这部改编自1901年同名小说的作品投资约1700万澳元，是南澳历史上最昂贵的电视剧[1]。沃森因在《盗亦有道》中的表现获得澳大利亚电影电视艺术学院奖最佳剧情类女主角提名[1]，此前也在《心碎高中》等剧中获得关注[1]。
沃森出身于爱丽丝泉，通过奖学金进入精英寄宿学校，最终踏入表演生涯[1]。她表示屏幕表演虽然令人欣喜，但"我无法满足那份对深入剖析文本、深入塑造角色的渴望"[1]。与此同时，沃森将在8月7日于墨尔本Malthouse Theatre出演舞台剧《黎明破晓》[1]。沃森透露自己已离家超过十年，计划在舞台剧结束后回到家乡[1]。
At 27 years old, Australian actor Sherry-Lee Watson is stepping into a major leading role as the young horse breaker Nell in Netflix's newly adapted drama series My Brilliant Career, set to premiere on August 13.[1] The production, which adapts the 1901 novel to the screen, represents South Australia's most expensive television drama to date with a budget of approximately AUD 17 million.[1]
Watson's path to this milestone has been marked by both professional achievement and personal cost. Rising from Alice Springs through scholarship opportunities at an elite boarding school, she built her career through roles in series including Heartbreak High and Thou Shalt Not Steal, the latter earning her an AACTA Award nomination for Best Female Actor in a Television Drama.[1] Yet even as her screen work has expanded, Watson has felt the limitations of the medium. "Screen is amazing, and I'm so grateful for everything I've gotten out of it, but I'm not satisfying that hunger to interrogate text and to go deep into characters," she reflected.[1]
Concurrent with the series launch, Watson is also performing in the stage play Break of Day at Melbourne's Malthouse Theatre, beginning August 7.[1] Looking ahead, Watson has indicated plans to return to her hometown after the theatrical run concludes, noting that she has been away from home for more than a decade.[1]
