Each year, the members of the CGA come together to identify a group of up to 10 extraordinary actors we believe have the potential to break out on the world stage; The CGA Rising Stars.
On this episode, Casting Guild members Steph Pringle and Alison Fowler (Chicken and Chips) interview Lily LaTorre.

--

With a depth and perception way beyond her years, it's no surprise that Lily is in constant demand. She beautifully performs the lead role of Annie Shearer in Australian feature film, Runt, based on the much-loved book of the same name.

Most recently, Lily co-leads the US independent feature Rebuilding alongside Josh O'Connor, which premiered at Sundance in 2025. Lily's work in Rebuilding has so far garnered her masses of positive attention and glowing reviews, including "The stand out performance is that of young Lily LaTorre (we may or may not have overheard a studio executive stating that LaTorre's performance was the breakout performance of the festival, which I agree with)...".

She can be seen on Netflix in the lead role of Mia, opposite Sarah Snook, in the feature film Run Rabbit Run for director Daina Reid. The film screened at Sundance, SxSW and Sydney Film Festival before its release, and has attracted outstanding reviews for Lily's work.

Lily also plays a key role in The Clearing for Disney+, from Director Jeffrey Walker. Here she, yet again, very much holds her own on screen, alongside cast such as Miranda Otto and Guy Pearce.

Recognisable from countless high-profile commercials campaigns in Australia and the US, Lily has also worked on a number of short films including the beautiful You and Me Before and After (dir. Madeleine Gottlieb) and Jake's 7th Birthday (dir. Ariel Martin).

Lily loves working alongside her brother Jack and spending time with her family and dog in coastal country Australia, dancing, playing piano and singing.
