Tehmina Sunny is a British actress. Born in London, her passion for the arts was developed at an early age. She received a scholarship for playing the violin, Viola and piano. With no previous training she was a finalist for the BBCs cross-country search for acting talent, a nationwide competition battling against tens of thousands. From that point she appeared in numerous school productions exploring her newfound talent. She decided to put her artistic dreams aside and focused on achieving a more "stable" life as a computer programmer. She attended the University of Leeds in England, where she studied Business Information Systems with an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science. This combined with marketing and business studies earned her a Bachelor of Science degree with honors. Tehmina's language skills as well as her ability to transition smoothly between British, American, Indian and Middle Eastern accents have given her a wide national appeal, thus allowing her to naturally carve a niche in the entertainment industry.
Tehmina was selected for Roland Joffe's epic adventure 'Singularity' which will appear in theaters in 2013. She appeared in Ben Affleck's 'Argo', which has received critical acclaim worldwide. She has collaborated with multi- award winning director Mike Figgis for an adaptation of Salman Rushdie's novel 'The Ground Beneath Her Feet' portraying Vina, a tainted scarred character whose story is told over many decades. She was handpicked to play a futuristic underground gang member in the Oscar nominated project 'Children of Men', directed by Alfonso Cuaron working with Clive Owen and Julianne Moore. On the small screen Tehmina has portrayed a retrospective of characters in Emmy award winning productions including NCIS, Californication, Heroes, Undercovers, Aaron Sorkins' The Newsroom & recently ABC's new talked about show, Mistresses, airing in spring 2013.
