Coming from a family of stage actors, Richardson-Sellers was always close to the theater and started acting from a young age. After graduating university, she started auditioning and had her very first role in the highly anticipated Star Wars sequel, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. After wrapping filming for her role, Richardson-Sellers booked her second role as Rebekah Mikaelson in the CW series The Originals, where the character of Rebekah inhabits a different body after a spell gone wrong.
Executive Producer Michael Narducci described her performance as having “an incredibly strong sparkle” and “there’s a great beauty – not only with physical beauty but there’s a great inner beauty – that comes up in her performance.
There’s also just this incredible strength.”
In beginning of March, it was announced that Richardson-Sellers will play a lead in Of Kings And Prophets, American Broadcasting Company’s drama pilot written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, which will be filmed in South Africa.
