Breakthrough with Skins
At the age of 16, Murray attended her first audition, aiming to gain experience in the industry. The audition was for the British teen drama series Skins. She impressed the producers and was cast as Cassie Ainsworth, a gentle yet troubled teenager struggling with an eating disorder. Her sensitive portrayal earned widespread recognition, and she remained with the show for its first two seasons before departing at the end of Season 2.
Stage Work and Early Film Roles
In May 2008, Murray made her stage debut in That Face at the Duke of York’s Theatre. Her performance was well-received by critics and is considered one of her most significant theatrical roles. She was also originally cast in a small role in the film In Bruges, though her scene was ultimately cut.
She appeared on television as Dorothy Savage in the ITV adaptation of Agatha Christie's Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? In 2010, Murray appeared in the feature films Womb and Chatroom—the latter based on a play by Enda Walsh and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
