Biography

Eloise Rothfield is an Australian/British actress, best known for her role as Shelly Huffman in the award-winning Netflix miniseries Boy Swallows Universe, based on the award-winning book by Trent Dalton. When researching for the role, she could find little screen representation of young people living with neuromuscular conditions, so now helps support the community as a charity ambassador for Muscular Dystrophy Queensland.

First stepping on stage at the age of seven, Eloise performed comedic poetry at an eisteddfod and many performances have followed in drama, musical theatre, comedy improvisation, choirs and rock bands. She started screen acting training at the age of ten, alongside classes and workshops in speech & performance, drama, singing, jazz dance and musical theatre. A graduate from Music Industry College with a Diploma of Music, her senior studies focused on her core passions in the creative and performing arts - singing, script and song writing, painting, photography, film making, TV, drama and improvisation.

Her first voiceover role was in Bluey as Muffin aged 12 in Camping (S01E43), before her screen acting debut in Boy Swallows Universe. More recently, she featured as Young Joni Grey in the Paramount+ / Netflix paranormal murder mystery miniseries Playing Gracie Darling.

Eloise was honoured to jointly receive the Equity Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Mini-series or Telemovie two years running: in 2025 for her role as Mary in How to Make Gravy for Foxtel/Binge and in 2026 playing Gabby Birch in the acclaimed Netflix miniseries The Survivors. She was also honoured to be selected as an AACTA Young Stars 2026 Top 10 Finalist, after making the Top 50 in 2025.

Between screen projects, Eloise works as a teaching assistant - coaching and mentoring aspiring screen actors, while honing her camera, directing and audition technique skills.
