Early life

Natalie Marie Ames was born and raised in the North London suburb of Enfield. Ames took drama, dance and art classes from a young age.

She graduated from Chace Community School[2] and attained a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Communication at Southampton Institute.

In 2012, she began working Los Angeles, having once fallen in love with the city during a family trip.[7] She appeared in the Lionsgate film Criminal opposite Gary Oldman, Ryan Reynolds, Alice Eve, Gal Gadot, and Kevin Costner[8][9][10] and the indie comedy film Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant opposite Mark Feueurstein and Danny Pudi. She also appeared in the romantic comedy Playing It Cool,[11] the comedy series Time Lapsed which premiered on the viral platform Funny or Die,[12] Vice Versa, produced by Isaiah Washington,[13] and Le Fear II: Le Sequel by writer and director Jason Croot.[14]

She has appeared in series including Starving in Hollywood, Mistresses,[15] Himmler Entertainment, Perceptions, Sh!T Happens, and Who's in Charge.

In addition to acting, Ames is the executive of production company Seven Twenty Twelve Productions. She wrote Strangers on the Ledge and Before We Began,[16][17] after being inspired by meetings with prolific directors at Sundance Film Festival.[18]
