Lana Young was born in Bermuda to a Northern Irish mother, Margaret Young, a marathoner and top Realtor and Bermudian father, Stan Young, a local football (soccer) star. Lana was a regular on the stage and was always kicking, hitting or throwing some sort of ball in sports, excelling in track and field, soccer and field hockey and was a varsity athlete at Carleton University. Acting was always her dream but it was not an encouraged pursuit in Bermuda so after a decade in the corporate world she took a detour and earned her M.A. in Acting from the Arts Educational School London and never looked back.

Some of her career work includes the recurring roles of Dr. Mary Osder in Fox's hospital drama The Resident, as Inez Trujillo in Ambitions (OWN), Dr. Lopes in Tell Me a Story (CBS All Access), Mrs. Douglas in The Vampire Diaries (CW), Dr. Jacinta Butler in Greenleaf (OWN) and Gloria Ruiz in The Inspectors (CBS); guest-star roles include Detective Michele Hodiak in Gone (NBC), Linda in Kevin Can Wait (CBS), Debbie in The Act (HULU) opposite Patricia Arquette and most recently Dr. Highland in WandaVision (Disney+) opposite Teyonah Parris, Dr. Jantzen in Lisey's Story (Apple Tv+) opposite Julianne Moore and Clive Owen and BULL. Lana has been honored to work with some of the greats. Christopher Plummer and Ewan McGregor in the Oscar- winning film Beginners, playing Gloria opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams in the boxing drama Southpaw and playing opposite Emily Blunt and Justin Theroux in the feature film The Girl on the Train. She most recently shot a leading role in Tyler Perry's passion project, A Jazzman's Blues and has received a nomination for Most Outstanding Ensemble Cast in a Motion Picture.

Lana, getting back to her roots, tread the boards most recently as Paulina in The Winter's Tale at Hartford Stage, with rave reviews. She lives in New York City with her cats Monkey and Lennon, who do tricks. IG @actorlanayoung
