Liz Carr

Liz Carr is a disabled actor and activist perhaps best known for playing Clarissa Mullery in BBC’s forensic drama, Silent Witness. Other TV and film credits include Good Omens, Marvel's Loki, The OA, The Witcher and Paramount’s Infinite. In 2022, Liz won an Olivier Award for her performance in Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart at the National Theatre. She played the role of Dr Emma Brookner, a pioneer in the early days of HIV & AIDS and based on the real life wheelchair using doctor, Linda Laubenstein. Liz was the first disabled actor to professionally play this role. And last year, as a long term campaigner on the issue, Liz authored a BBC documentary, Better Off Dead? exploring hers and many other disabled peoples’ opposition to assisted suicide.
