She graduated with a Bachelor oEarly in her career, she worked as a personal assistant at Condé Nast as her day job while doing comedy at night. Mod took lessons at Theatrix Performing Arts of St Albans, based at the Abbey Theatre in the city. While at Durham, Mod did acting and sketch comedy through the university's Revue, performing with Tom Harper at the 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and serving as the troupe's President in 2017. She also performs improvised comedy at The Free Association in London. Mod formed a duo titled Megan from HR with Andrew Shires. She performs regularly at improvised comedy theatre The Free Association in London. Career Following a series of short films and supporting roles in television, in 2022 Mod appeared as a struggling junior doctor in Adam Kay’s medical comedy-drama, based on his memoir of the same name, This Is Going to Hurt alongside Ben Whishaw. The series, based around the experiences of doctors who work in gynaecology and obstetrics, earned critical acclaim. The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg praised Mod as the highlight among the "regular female characters" and added that she makes "Shruti’s earnest fragility into the show’s true heart", however, he criticised that "some of the series’ choices make her more trope than human, more an enabler for Adam’s journey than her own". Mod earned the Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Actress for her performance. In 2024, Mod played Emma Morley opposite Leo Woodall in Netflix's One Day, based on David Nicholls' novel of the same name. It tells the story of two young people who meet annually for twenty years following a platonic one-night stand together. Despite initially declining the character due to the intense nature of her role in This Is Going to Hurt and her doubts about portraying a romantic lead, Mod ultimately accepted the role. Reflecting on her decision later, she stated, "I think part of the reason why I just didn’t see myself playing that part was because insidiously and implicitly, that’s a message that I’ve been fed my entire life—that people who look like me aren’t romantic leads, that people who look like me aren’t the people who the male romantic lead will fall in love with". The series, along with her performance, received critical acclaim and the role proved to be a major breakthrough in Mod’s career. The series also became the most-watched globally during the week of February 12 with 9.9 million views. Writing for The Guardian, Chitra Ramaswamy lauded Mod as a "revelation" adding that "it is hard to believe this is her first lead role". While discussing her character's alteration in ethnicity from the novel and film, she expressed her hope that it would "open people's minds a little bit," stating that she is "aware how significant it will be to a lot of people, especially young women of colour, young South Asian women in particular". Mod will next play a lead role in the upcoming Disney+ thriller series, Playdate. Source: wikipedia

However Leo is finally back on set - or at least he's expected to be there anytime soon.

First one was great. Not sure what's left to tell in another one.

May the better of the sisters in mind win. However Emma will have lots of opportunities in the future Lily on the other hand... I'm not so sure.

At this point nothing can be worse than MADAME WEB right? 🤣

Of course it's partly because of Leos high salary. So the strike didn't change... anything? lol

Pls movie god let that happen 🙏

This is how a oscar nomination effects your career

Really curious about this remake.

FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT CRUISE AND PHOENIX HAD JOINED THE PTA MOVIE LMAO However it's more or less confirmed Cruise will be indeed in Tarantinos last movie: Tom Cruise Wants to “Return to Working With Auteurs Like Paul Thomas Anderson” After Jeff Sneider’s reporting about Tom Cruise potentially finding a role in Quentin Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic,” Variety is confirming the scoop.

WTH? 🤣

... and DeNiro. Robert De Niro Says He Knew Leonardo DiCaprio Had ‘Something Special’ When They Met 30 Years Ago (Exclusive)

Marty speaking a little about Leo in this recent interview. Martin Scorsese On Career Collaborations, Film Festivals & The Future Of Cinema: “It Will Be Quite A Bit Tougher, But Cinema Will Survive: It’s Not Something That Can Be Destroyed” (...) DEADLINE: Killers Of The Flower Moon is the latest chapter in the magical cinematic journey you’ve been on as a director. When you look over your career, what are you most proud of and are there experiences, lessons or collaborations that stand out to you? SCORSESE: That’s a difficult question to answer—I’m still on the journey and I’m not looking back on my career. Obviously my collaborations with Bob De Niro and Leo DiCaprio have been extremely precious to me. So has my collaboration with Thelma Schoonmaker since 1980. I could name other people. To have those kinds of relationships, based in trust and love … it’s meant everything. As for the lessons, I think I’m still learning them.

Still partying.
