United States From 'Stranger Things' to 'All Too Well': We Chart Sadie Sink's Career So Far
Taylor Swift fans will soon become familiar with the name Sadie Sink, as she's set for a starring role in her short movie All Too Well.
The 19-year-old will be familiar to Netflix viewers for her roles in the likes of Stranger Things and the Fear Street movies.
Despite being so young, actress and model Sink has already worked alongside Helen Mirren, Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder, and soon she will be able to add Swift to that list.
All Too Well is written, directed and produced by Swift and is based on her 2012 song of the same name. It will be released late on November 12, 2021 to accompany the re-release of her album Red.
Ahead of her starring role in the Swift project, here are some of Sink's career highlights so far, across movies, television and the stage.
Early TV RolesBorn in 2002, Sink started acting from a young age and made her onscreen debut in a 2013 episode of The Americans. She played Lana in the Season 1 episode "Mutually Assured Destruction."
She then appeared in a 2014 episode of Blue Bloods, before bagging a recurring role in Odyssey. She played Suzanne Ballard in the military drama alongside Anna Friel, Jake Robinson and Peter Facinelli. Sink then made an appearance in an episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt as a Tween Girl.
Before appearing on television, Sink established herself on Broadway with roles in some classics.
In 2012, she alternated in the role of Annie in the Broadway revival, and starred alongside Jane Lynch, who briefly stepped in as Miss Hannigan.
In 2015, Sink starred alongside Helen Mirren in The Audience, as she played a young Queen Elizabeth II. Mirren won a Tony Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Audience.
In 2015, Sink told Broadway.com: "I love learning new things from the other actors," and she had a great mentor in the multi-award winning Mirren. On meeting Mirren, Sink said: "She's such a nice person and I don't really get nervous around her."
Sink made her movie career debut in the 2016 drama Chuck, playing Kimberly, the daughter of a heavyweight boxer played by Liev Schreiber.
In 2017, she starred in The Glass Castle as a younger version of Sarah Snook's (Succession) character. The biographical drama also starred Harrelson, Brie Larson and Naomie Watts.
