Rimca Karmakar

Raised in Surrey, UK by BengaIi parents, Rimca gave up a career in Medicine for her love of acting. Her first lead role was in Ira Levin's Veronica's Room, staged in trendy Digbeth, Birmingham. Once back in London, Rimca trained under the Actors' Temple in the Meisner Technique for a number of years before appearing in her first television commercial for Natwest. Rimca has worked with numerous film production companies in London, and with British actor James D'Arcy in charity film, Choose to See directed by Mary Nighy. She was highly commended for her mind blowing performance as Navika Patel, the social worker protecting young girls from Female Genital Mutilation, in 2015's Best African Film of the Year, The Lower Cut (2015) directed by George Kelly Toghanro. She may be spotted across London as a role-player playing psychiatric patients, doctors and corporate leaders. An adventurer at heart, Rimca is a fervent surfer, hiker, snowboarder and trained in the ancient Maori martial art of Mau Taiaha.
