About me

I am a professionally trained method actor & have worked in film, television and West End theatre. I have travelled extensively during my career and have worked both in the UK and Indian film industry.
I am versatile, professional and dedicated to the rigours of the industry whether it be a film set or theatre. I enjoy challenges and aspire to breaking stereotypes. I like roles which demand emotional and physical stamina. I am physically fit and in my spare time enjoy ballet, kickboxing and pilates. I have a particular aptitude for accents and dialects and I have been required to learn scripts in Russian, Begali and French.
I have also worked as a commercial and fashion model for numerous designers and am currently represented by JSW Models, Berlin.
When I am not acting I am studying and am currently an Masters student at Cambridge University where I plan to take my PhD in English Literature.

Reviews/Testimonials

'Heidi Mumford plays Ludmilla, a Russian immigrant who inadvertantly causes trouble. Her amazing preparation for her character enabled her to be believable throughout her performance and even had the crew asking "How long has she lived here?"
Her accent was as flawless as her performance. Si commented after the shoot "I am looking to work with Heidi as soon as possible as her approach to character driven work is very inspiring and makes my job alot easier"

Press Release from Speed Date-The movie.

"I predict a bright acting career ahead of Heidi"
Daily Mail

"Her spontaneity in adapting herself completely to her character 'Laurie' along with her eagerness and patience in learning the Bengali language and striving to get the pronunciation exact, was very impressive".

Rupali Guha, Director of 'Porichoi' 2013
