Uncover the complete story concerning Everything You Need to Know About Ella Balinska Before You See the 'Charlie's Angels' Reboot.

The 23-year-old British actress is relatively new on the scene. Before being cast in the 2019 Charlie's Angels, Ella stared as Nyela Malik in the ongoing TV series The Athena. In 2018, she also appeared in the shows Midsomer Murders and Casualty. Charlie's Angels will be her biggest role yet, and definitely not her last.

Ella describes herself as a hard worker and a go-getter — and she was competitive with everything she was tasked with, whether it was an essay for school, or a sport (she played netball, lacrosse, and track and field, according to WWD). When Ella realized she loved acting, she took it extremely seriously, applying to competitive acting schools in the U.K. until she was accepted to the Guildford School of Acting. She also studied at the Arts Educational and the National Youth Theatre.

Ella told WWD that she specifically studied stage combat in school, and knows how to use 13 different kinds of weapons (including her bare hands, of course). So when she was cast in Charlie's Angels, she knew it was a perfect fit. 

When talking about sports and really using her body's strength when it comes to acting, Ella says, “This is a really exciting topic for me. When you do a lot of sport, you gain physical awareness, you know your strengths, you know your limits, you know how to push yourself in certain ways — even mental awareness. It’s a discipline. You wake up and you train.”
