Naomie is perhaps best known for her role as Tia Dalma in the recent film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. She is also currently working on Ninja Assassin by director James McTeigue (V for Vendetta). 1. Please tell us a bit about your background. Where are you from and what inspired you to become an actress? Born and brought up in London, England; and of Jamaican/Trinidadian descent, I have wanted to be an actress ever since I can remember.
