Sydney Sweeney Career
Sweeney first became known for her roles in the TV shows Everything Sucks!, The Handmaid’s Tale, and the limited series Sharp Objects in 2018. In the following year, she was in the film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino. She got praise for her role as Reality Winner in the drama film Reality and as the lead in the love comedy Anyone but You in 2023.
When Sweeney tried out to be an extra in an independent movie being filmed in the Spokane area, he became interested in acting. She showed her parents a five-year business plan to get them to let her become an actress. Sweeney started to try out for and get commercial acting jobs in Seattle and Portland, Oregon, while her family was temporarily living there. When she was 14, she decided to move to Los Angeles, California. Sweeney’s first jobs were as a guest star on TV shows like 90210, Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, and Pretty Little Liars.
The Netflix show Everything Sucks! was about two groups of high school kids in Oregon in 1996, and Sweeney played Emaline Addario. Then she played Alice, a roommate that Amy Adams’ character meets at a mental hospital, in several episodes of the HBO program Sharp Objects. The director kept adding more scenes for her character, even though she was only meant to play a small part at first. For the part, Sweeney read about girls who had mental illnesses and hurt themselves, and she also went to places where people who had mental illnesses and hurt themselves were treated. She worked on both Everything Sucks! and Sharp Objects at the same time, during the week and on the weekends.
In 2018, Sweeney had a part in the horror movie Under the Silver Lake. During the second season of the future drama series The Handmaid’s Tale, she played Eden Spencer, a religious and obedient girl from the very strict Republic of Gilead. She played the lead role in the scary movie Along Came the Devil as well. Sweeney was in three movies the following year: Quentin Tarantino’s drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the coming-of-age movie Big Time Adolescence, and the drama Clementine.
In the HBO drama series Euphoria, Sweeney started playing Cassie Howard in June 2019. Howard is a girl with a reputation for being promiscuous. Her work was praised, and in 2022 she was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Variety said that Sweeney’s performance as Cassie “proves that she’s one hell of a shapeshifter between her deft turns in this, The Handmaid’s Tale, Everything Sucks, and Sharp Objects.” A lot of people talked about her many naked scenes in the series, which led to conversations about naturism in movies and the male gaze. Even so, Sweeney has said she won’t stop doing naked acts.
Sweeney started the film company Fifty-Fifty Films, which opened in 2020. In 2020, she played the lead role in the TV movie Nocturne. In 2021, Sweeney played a sarcastic college sophomore in the first season of Mike White’s anthology black comedy series The White Lotus. The part got good reviews.

Because of what she has done, Time put her on their 100 Next list for 2022.
In 2023, Sweeney played Reality Winner in Tina Satter’s thriller drama Reality, which had its world premiere at the 73rd Berlin Film Festival and got great reviews. Steph Green of IndieWire called the movie “inventively mounted and extraordinarily tense” and called Sweeney “the real deal.” Variety’s Jessica Kiang said, “She played Winner so convincingly that it’s hard to remember her as the angry, spoiled teen in The White Lotus or the nice girl who turned mean in Euphoria.” Next, Sweeney had a part in the 2017 South by Southwest film Americana, which was a crime thriller. The Rolling Stones’ song “Angry” from their Hackney Diamonds (2023) album has a music video with her in it. After that, she was in the love comedy Anyone but You with Glen Powell, which came out in December of that same year. It turned out to be a surprise hit.
