Raffey Camomile Cassidy was born on 12 November 2001[1] in Salford, England.[2][3] Her father teaches acting and she grew up in a family where her siblings were also involved in the entertainment business. Cassidy took acting classes at David Johnson Drama in Manchester.[4][5] Her first part came unexpectedly as she was accompanying her older brother Mossie on an audition for a role on a BBC drama. The casting crew needed a girl and, according to Cassidy, she "just happened to be there”.[6]

In 2015, Cassidy completed production as Molly in Amber Entertainment's Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism, with Emily Watson and Dominic Monaghan, and starred as the Audio-Animatronic Athena in Disney's Tomorrowland, with George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, and Britt Robertson.[7]
On the television front, Cassidy co-starred in Mr. Selfridge, alongside Jeremy Piven.[7]
In 2013 Cassidy was named on Screen International magazine's Stars of Tomorrow. At that time, she was the youngest actor ever to be featured on the annual list.[8][9]
