“I’m Sarah Blackwood, I have loved acting for years but have only recently taken steps to pursue it as a career. I love enjoying being able to perform a variety of different roles and being apart of the whole process of bringing a piece to life.
Playing Nicola I hope to show all of her strength as well as her vulnerability.”
Who is Nicola Thomson?
Nicola Thomson is sharper than people expect — and far more emotionally resilient than she appears.
Ambitious, intelligent, and unafraid to speak her mind, Nicola operates within Avalon Models with quiet confidence. She understands the dynamics of power and position, and she refuses to be overlooked.
At first glance, Nicola seems composed and self-assured. But beneath that exterior lies a woman navigating complicated emotional territory — loyalty, desire, independence, and consequence all pulling in different directions.
She doesn’t chase drama. But she doesn’t avoid confrontation either.
Nicola becomes increasingly central to the shifting dynamics inside Avalon Models. Her presence challenges relationships, exposes vulnerabilities, and forces difficult conversations.
She may not control the room. But she can change its temperature. And once she steps into the spotlight, nothing feels stable anymore.

Getting to know Sarah
1. Why did you want become an actor?
I have loved being on the stage since I was little but I was always too afraid to go for it. After I developed my tics I could no longer work and so I decided to take a leap of faith and apply for an acting college course. I finished the course and am now working on my career.
2. Given the chance, which actor would you most like to work with?
I would love to work with Saoirse Ronan or Jessie Buckley. I think they are incredibly talented and very down to earth people. I like how real their acting feels, very human.
3. If you could play any character from a tv series or film who would it be, and why?
I would play Charlie from Supernatural. I love her energy. She’s funny, sarcastic but also very smart. She is a strong, independent character in her own right but is also a strong backbone and support for the main characters.
4. What director, living or dead, would you most like to work with, and why?
Guillermo Del Toro or Baz Luhrmann, they directed some of my favourite films of all time. Despite their differences I love both of their styles.
5. What actor would play you in a movie?
Melissa McCarthy, her comedic timing is amazing and let’s be honest…my life would be a comedy.
