Biography
After finishing her studies with a PhD in Political Science and Media Studios from the University of Barcelona, Laia Costa began taking acting classes with Nancy Tuñon. In her debut performance on the Spanish TV series Bandolera, broadcast on Madrid based Antena 3, she portrayed a young woman who suffers sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather and conceives a child. At the same time Laia appeared on other shows including Toledo, Tiempo Entre Costuras and Red Riding Hood. A small part in Tengo Ganas de Ti (Dir. Fernando G. Molina, 2012) marked her debut on the big screen.
After returning to her hometown of Barcelona, Laia received an offer from Pau Freixas to join the cult series Polseres Vermelles, a show was remade for FOX by DreamWorks as The Red Band Society. Her performance as Rym, a charismatic young girl diagnosed with breast cancer, earned her rave reviews from both fans and critics. Always looking for new challenges, Laia made her theatre debut at the National Theatre of Catalonia in the play Killing, Beating And Death in Agbanaspach, written and directed by Marcel Borras and Nao Albet – and gave her entire performance in German. As well as playing Victoria in 2014, she also shot Fort Ross by Russian filmmaker Yurly Morozvor and won the Spotlight Breakthrough Acting Award 2014 at the Subtitle Film Festival, Kilkenny, Ireland. Laia completed work in Fernando G. Molina's film Palms in the Snow.
