Mexican-Canadian actress Emilia McCarthy De Antuñano has worked with the masters before turning 20, like directors Alejandro González Iñárritu and David Cronenberg to mention a few. She has shared screen credits with Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Famke Janssen, Gael García, and Robert Pattison. Emilia landed her first role in the Golden Globe award winning film "Babel" at the tender age of 7 because of her physical resemblance to Elle Fanning and her knowledge of Spanish and American language and culture. For Emilia, her dedication for acting has not been a phase, it is her life passion. She is at her happiest when she is in front of the camera. A seasoned actor at her young age, Emilia's versatility and talent have been recognized by the industry, winning her several prestigious awards and nominations.

Emilia's television credits include starring roles in the Disney Channel Original Movies "Zombies" and "Zapped," and series regular roles on Netflix's "Hemlock Grove," Nickelodeon's "Max & Shred" and Family Channel's "Dark Haven High"

Her previous credits include a guest-starring role in the highly rated CW series _"Beauty and the Beast" (2012)_ (qav) and a starring role in made-for-TV Canadian movies: Booky's Crush (2009) and Booky & the Secret Santa (2007).

At the age of eight Emilia had the opportunity to act alongside Cate Blanchett and Gael García Bernal as Cate's daughter, a role she shared with Elle Fanning, in the Golden Globe award winning Babel (2006).=

Her theatrical credits include roles in "Hairspray", "Aida", "Seussical Jr." and "Tarantella Cabaret". Emilia is fluent in Spanish, French and English and her life experiences allow her to switch "culture modes" effortlessly. Her goal is to be an accomplished and respected actress and to eventually pass on her knowledge of the art of acting to young aspiring actors.
