Louise Burke is a Scottish actress and singer with a multilingual flair, fluent in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. Known for her natural ability to perform in multiple languages, she brings international range and cultural authenticity to roles across film, television, theatre, and music. Alongside her acting and singing career, she works as a freelance translator for the United Nations, blending artistry with global intelligence. Her passion for language and storytelling began with an MA in French and Hispanic Studies.

​

Louise has trained with some of the industry’s most respected coaches, including Ken Rea (Guildhall) and Mary Hammond, former Head of Musical Theatre at the Royal Academy of Music, whose students include Adele, Chris Martin, and Lea Salonga. She has studied under Hammond’s guidance since 2015 and continues to refine her accent work with leading coach Lindsey Lawson.

​

Recent screen credits include Pistol (Danny Boyle), The Crown (Netflix), and The Undertow (Netflix), where she appeared opposite Jamie Dornan. In Bollywood, she played Amelia Bruce in This Is Also a Love Story (opposite Jiya Shankar and M.S. Bhaskar) and appeared in Tehran alongside John Abraham. After wrapping on This Is Also a Love Story, Louise was called back as Jiya Shankar’s body double for complex stunt scenes under the guidance of renowned stunt performer Nick Khan, showcasing her physical precision and trust from the production team.

​

She also performed as a body double for actress Anna Francolini on House of the Dragon, adding another high-profile, internationally recognised series to her credits. Her agility, adaptability, and professionalism have earned her increasing recognition on both sides of the camera.

​

Louise is the face of the Caledonian Sleeper business campaign and is continuing to gain more attention from the press for her multilingual versatility, on-screen presence, and artistic depth — qualities that continue to set her apart across both commercial and cinematic work.

​

As a singer-songwriter, she is working on her debut album with Sonja Kristina (Curved Air). Her singles Artist’s Rut and Benevolent Not Malevolent — produced by Jon Cohen — were recorded in studio under Hammond’s direction and are gaining attention for their cinematic scope and emotional depth.

Louise has also developed a wide range of advanced skills in SFX and screen armoury through dedicated training with Perry Costello, one of the UK's most respected experts in weapons handling for film and television. Her on-screen work spans a range of visually striking and character-driven productions — from embodying the outrageous Zinnia Wormwood in M.L. Bacardi's Guinea Pig (directed by Silence) to appearing as Dr. Paul in Emmerdale (ITV), directed by Diana Patrick, and fronting the Betfred Safer Gambling campaign for 5USA.

 

​With a career that bridges languages, genres, and industries — and growing interest from Take a Break, Fate and Fortune, The Guardian, Glasgow Live, Fabulous, The Daily Record, and many more — Louise Burke is an artist whose story is only just beginning.
