Which Ride or Die actor was born in Wandsworth, London, in 1974?

The story behind the answer

Hannah Waddingham is the Ride or Die actor born in Wandsworth, London, in 1974.

Waddingham was born on 28 July 1974 in Wandsworth, a district in southwest London. She grew up around theatre and music: her mother and maternal grandparents were opera singers, and she later trained at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts.

She built an acclaimed stage career before becoming widely known on screen. Her credits include the original London production of Spamalot and the Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso, where she played football-club owner Rebecca Welton. That role earned her a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

In Ride or Die, Waddingham plays Judith Burton, one half of the central friendship alongside Octavia Spencer’s Debbie. Viewers may associate her more immediately with Ted Lasso or Eurovision, but her London birth details identify her among this series’ cast.
