When she was seven years old, Letitia’s family moved to London. Her interest in acting developed after watching “Akeelah and the Bee”, which is a drama film about an 11 year old girl participating in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Letitia then decided to contact various agents about acting, until she gained small parts in television series. She was cast in “Holby City” as well as “Top Boy” in 2011, in which she played Chantelle for four episodes. The following year, she then became the lead in the film “My Brother the Devil” which won multiple awards during the 2012 Sundance Film Festival – her performance in the film made her one of the 2012 Stars of Tomorrow as listed by Screen International. She then continued to work on various television projects such as “Coming Up” and “Chasing Shadows” in which she had one episode roles. She was also cast as Vivienne Scott in the British series “Banana”, also playing a role in its sister series “Cucumber”. These continued opportunities have slowly built her net worth.
After making a guest appearance in the iconic BBC TV series “Doctor Who”, Wright was then cast in the film “Urban Hymn” playing the role of Jamie Harrison in the coming of age drama set during the 2011 England riots, and her performance in the film gained a very positive critical response; the film also garnered numerous nominations including a British Independent Film Award. In 2016, Wright became a part of “Humans” which is a science fiction television series, and the following year she became a part of the film “The Commuter” which stars Liam Neeson. A few of her latest projects include “Black Panther”, and “Ready Player One”. She is also set to have a role in the upcoming “Avengers” film entitled “Avengers: Infinity War” which will star numerous actors from previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films. These high profile films have increased Wright’s net worth even further.
For her personal life, nothing is known about Letitia’s romantic relationships, if any. She once spoke out about how there are very few opportunities for black actors to have positive roles.
She’s very active on social media, particularly Twitter on which she has over 5,000 followers.
