Julie Fernandez, Actor and Access Coordinator

Listed Londoner

Available for over a year

Julie Fernandez is a actress and access coordinator with a career spanning 35 years. She was born in 1974 in Hampstead. Her mother was of Austrian heritage and her father - in her own words - was a ‘Jewish naughty boy’, who rubbed shoulders with the Krays. Her acting career began in 1992 when she starred as Vanessa Lockhead in the short-lived ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ soap opera Eldorado. She’s probably best known for her role as Brenda in Ricky Gervais’s iconic comedy The Office. Julie was born with brittle-bone disease and is a wheelchair user. Since 2022 she has been working as an access coordinator, supporting those with access requirements across the film, television and theatre industries. Julie Fernandez reveals her favourite haunts, memories, pet hates and everything in between with Gary Crowley.
