Born in 1995 in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, Duckles has swiftly established herself in the entertainment world, thanks to her adaptable acting abilities and compelling screen presence.
Her big break came with The A List.
Duckles became widely known for her role as Amber in the teen supernatural thriller series, The A List (2018–2021). Initially produced by the BBC and later available on Netflix, the show centers on a group of teenagers at a summer camp on a remote island, where strange and supernatural occurrences take place. Duckles’ portrayal of the mysterious and vengeful Amber was a highlight, representing her first significant lead role and demonstrating her skill in portraying complex, tension-filled characters alongside co-star Lisa Ambalavanar.
The series gave Duckles a chance to delve into revenge, trauma, and the twists and turns of the plot, and her performance in those intense, face-to-face scenes was widely acclaimed, driving much of the show’s tension.
A Versatile Career
Prior to her big break, Duckles had small parts in well-known British shows, including Netflix’s Safe (2018), a mystery thriller based on a Harlan Coben novel. She’s since broadened her horizons, taking on roles in projects like The Phoebus Files (2023), where she portrayed Rose, and The Window (2022).
In 2024, Duckles took on the role of Thea in the horror film Dagr, a found-footage style movie that showcased her versatility across different genres. Her filmography also features shorter projects and music videos, underscoring her increasing visibility in both television and independent film.
Voice-Over Work and Other Ventures
In addition to her on-screen performances, Duckles is a seasoned voice-over artist, boasting over seven years in the field. She works from her professional home studio, where she’s lent her voice to prominent brands and networks such as ITV, BBC, Netflix, and Barclaycard. Her vocal range is a perfect fit for a variety of projects, encompassing commercials, corporate videos, e-learning modules, documentaries, radio dramas, audiobooks, and animation.
Duckles draws on her acting experience to breathe life into scripts, offering accents, character voices, and a swift turnaround. This aspect of her career highlights her versatility and her enthusiasm for audio performance.
Personal Life and Future Prospects
Now in her thirties (as of 2026), Duckles is steadily advancing in her career, all while keeping her private life largely out of the spotlight. She’s mentioned being a fan of actors such as Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson, and she’s been candid about battling self-doubt to chase her acting aspirations—a goal she documented in her teenage diaries.
Having established herself in teen dramas, horror films, and voice acting, Ellie Duckles is well-positioned for even more significant roles in film and television. Her fans can anticipate her future projects, as she continues to charm audiences with her skill and presence.
