British actress Anna Rust was born in Prague, Czech Republic to British parents Will Rust and Clare Bryant. Although she moved from country to country as a child, attending international schools along the way, this experience allowed her to learn the six languages she speaks today (including German, Czech, Russian, Hungarian, and Dutch). Since then, Anna has moved back to the United Kingdom, in order to further pursue her acting career and get back in touch with her roots.
The talented actress began her career early in life, starring alongside Keira Knightley and Sam Neill in the TV Mini-Series Doctor Zhivago (2002) at the age of 6. She was plucked out of school and thrown into a whole new world for a three month shoot set in the past, with drama, romance, wolves and fake snow. This first experience left a lasting impression on the young girl, who discovered then that acting was her greatest passion in life.
She went on to play the role of the youngest sister in The Brothers Grimm (2005), directed by Terry Gilliam, and undertaking a heavy transformation to play the part of a 30 year old mother for Baltasar Kormákur's The Missionary (2013). In the same year, she had a blast filming the indie horror film Bloody Weekend (2013).
