Early life and education

[edit]

Rohl was born on August 6, 1991 in Vancouver to Michael Rohl, a television director and producer, and JD Derbyshire, a playwright and comedian.[8]

Rohl began studying acting when she was 14.[9][10] She has said she began performing dramatic recitations as a young child, recalling a memory of reciting a soliloquy from Hamlet at around age four,[11] and later trained in a theatre course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.[2]

Career

[edit]

Rohl's first prominent acting role was playing Sterling Fitch in the first two seasons of the AMC crime drama The Killing in 2011–2012. Also in 2011, she played Prudence in the 2011 dark fantasy film Red Riding Hood.[1] From 2013 to 2015, Rohl recurred as Abigail Hobbs in the NBC television crime drama Hannibal.[2] The role came about through a connection with director David Slade, with whom Rohl had previously shot an unsold pilot; she learned she had been cast while enrolled in her RADA theatre course in London.[2] Around the same time, she filmed a pilot for an unsold ABC/Sony drama, Doubt, in which she played a paralegal.[2] She was cast in the starring role of daughter Jenna Engel in the 2014 NBC sitcom Working the Engels.[3]

Beginning in 2015, Rohl recurred as Marina on the Syfy television series The Magicians.[12] In 2016, she appeared in the thirteenth episode of the fifth season of the ABC television series Once Upon a Time, playing the role of Megara.[13] Rohl was cast in the regular role of Kerry Campbell in the second season of the Fox sci-fi drama television series Wayward Pines which aired mid-2016.[4] From 2017 to 2019, she played the recurring role of Alena on The CW superhero drama series Arrow.[14]

Rohl starred in the 2019 Canadian psychological thriller film White Lie, playing the lead role of Katie Arneson.[5] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2019, where Rohl was named a TIFF Rising Star.[15] She received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Actress (Film) at the 8th Canadian Screen Awards for her performance,[6] and was also nominated for Best Actor, Female (Canadian) at the Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards.[16]

She starred as Sabrina Swanson in the 2018 Syfy horror television film Killer High.[17] In July 2019, Rohl was cast in the 2020 Canadian spy thriller series Fortunate Son.[18][19]

In March 2024, Variety reported that Rohl had been cast as a young version of Lieutenant Rachel Garrett, a character previously played by Tricia O'Neil in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise", for the Paramount+ film Star Trek: Section 31.[7] The film, centered on Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou, premiered on Paramount+ in January 2025.[20] Rohl said the role came together over several rounds of auditions, during which she was not initially told which character she was being considered for.[21]
