Lauren Scott-Berry grew up in the village of Robin Hoods Bay, North Yorkshire with her parents, Helen and Edward Berry and her brother, Luke. Lauren attended a failing comprehensive school with very few acting and drama opportunities yet decided to pursue further education in acting.
In 2009 she moved to London to begin her theatrical training at East 15 Acting School. After leaving East 15 in 2010 Lauren was cast as Glenna in David Mamet's 'Bobby Gould in Hell' with the Woodhouse Players, an amateur dramatics group in Leytonstone. This was Lauren's stage debut.
In 2012 she was cast as Sam in her first screen role, 'Okora: The Prelude' before deciding to continue her training at Drama Studio London.
During her training Lauren grew in confidence and by the end of the course she was nominated by the school to audition in front of several theatre companies in a scheme designed to help give opportunities to actors fresh out of training. She was cast by Forest Forge as Gretel in their Christmas musical performance of 'Hansel and Gretel'.
Following on from this success Lauren was cast in several short films and music videos including Nathan Sykes' 2016 hit 'Kiss Me Quick' and her first television appearance as Traudl Junge in 'Hitler: The Rise and Fall'.
Continuing her theatrical journey Lauren toured the UK with Quantum Theatres 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' as Hermia and Puck, she also toured Spain with a musical adaptation of 'The Taming Of The Shrew' where she played Katherine. In 2016 Lauren played Maureen in the OFFIE nominated 'Time Of My Life' by Alan Ayckbourn.
In 2017 Lauren was cast as Mouse, the lead role in the musical stage adaptation of 'The Gruffalo' which toured around the world, including four months across the USA.
After returning to London Lauren played opposite Steve Huison in the short film 'Little Bird' and soon after that was cast in the mockumentary 'White Knuckle'.
