Caitlin Blackwood (born 23 June 2000)[1] is an actress from Northern Ireland who played the 'young Amy Pond' in the BBC One TV programme Doctor Who.[2]
Biography
Blackwood was born in Antrim, Northern Ireland, in 2000.[1] She moved with her family to Inverness in Scotland when she was six years old and has lived there ever since.[1]
Blackwood played Alexis in the 2015 episode "Preparing the Weapon" of the crowdfunded[3] TV series Cops and Monsters.[4] In 2018 she appeared in a short film called Sundown directed by Ryan Hendrick.[5]
She played the young Amelia Pond in several Doctor Who episodes; "The Eleventh Hour", "The Big Bang", "Let's Kill Hitler", and "The God Complex", and a cameo in "The Angels Take Manhattan". She is the cousin of Karen Gillan, who portrayed the adult Amy Pond, although they had never met before Blackwood was cast.[6] The reason she got the role was due to her physical similarity to her older cousin.[7][8] In 2018, she starred in Sundown, an award-winning short film by Scottish writer and director Ryan Hendrick. In 2020, she played Amy Pond in the Doctor Who short: "The Raggedy Doctor by Amelia Pond".[9]
In 2020, she appeared in the romantic comedy film Lost At Christmas,[10][11] which also featured Doctor Who actors Sylvester McCoy and Frazer Hines.
