Early life and education

[edit]

She originally pursued a career with the Scottish Young Conservatives,[1] before deciding to try acting. After performing at the Edinburgh Fringe for Fourth Monkey and on stage in London in The Crucible[citation needed] she was accepted into the National Youth Theatre's REP programme in 2015. This programme offers free training for selected students.[2]

Career

[edit]

Lyle's first professional role was in 2014 when she starred in the critically acclaimed production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, directed by Yael Farber at the Old Vic Theatre in London's West End.[citation needed]

In 2015, Lyle was accepted to the National Youth Theatre's rep programme, performing in three plays during the season.[2] She appeared as Catherine in Wuthering Heights, Diane in Consensual, and the Prince of Arragon in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice..[3][4][5]

Her first television appearance, on BBC Three's BBC Comedy Feeds, saw Lyle appearing in a series four episode entitled "Radges".[6][7] Long-running medical drama Holby City featured Lyle as Katherine Rice in the Series 18 episode "Who You Are" (2016).[8][9] From there she featured in a three-episode stint, opposite Sean Bean, in the BBC drama Broken.[10][11]

In 2017, Lyle debuted in the recurring role of Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in Starz's hit time travel drama Outlander, based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series of the same name.[12][13] Returning to her roots at the National Youth Theatre, Lyle appeared in the television documentary Stage Direction to discuss her experiences with the program.[14]

In 2018 Lyle starred in the film adaptation of Fiona Shaw's novel Tell It to the Bees, opposite Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger, and Lily Rose Thomas' debut short film Girls Who Drink.[15][16]

In early 2020, Lyle began hosting the podcast She's a Rec'. In each episode, she interviews a female guest about the "albums, films, books and female heroes" that have had the most influence in their lives.[17][18]

In 2021 Lyle appeared in the BBC crime drama Vigil. She portrayed Jade Antoniak, a peace protester and the girlfriend of Martin Compston’s character Craig Burke.[19] The show, which is set on a ballistic missile submarine, gained over 10.2 million views in the first seven days, making it the BBC's most-watched show of the year.[20]

In 2022, Lyle starred as investigator Detective Sergeant Karen Pirie in the ITV murder drama series Karen Pirie, based upon author Val McDermid’s novel The Distant Echo.[21]
