Famous Roles You Forgot the Adolescence Cast Played (4 of 6)

You may know her from titles like Emmerdale, The Widow, Wolfe, and The Gathering. She loves playing characters who feel like actual people rather than neutered TV versions of people, which is exactly what Adolescence needed.

Amelie Pease as Lisa Miller

Amelie Pease plays Lisa, Jamie’s sister, and, like Cooper, Adolescence is her very first big role. She may be playing a quieter character than some others in the series, but Lisa is important because she shows how one horrifying event can ruin an entire family. For Pease, Adolescence was a huge first job, and it put her straight into one of the most talked-about dramas on Netflix. If anything, that’s a great way to start your career.

Mark Stanley as Paul Barlow

Mark Stanley plays Paul, the solicitor, who was assigned to Jamie after his arrest. There’s not much to talk about when it comes to his scenes in the show, but that seemingly unremarkable calmness is what makes him stand out.
