Early life and education
[edit]Bock grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina and moved to Cary, North Carolina when she was eight. Briefly, she was a junior tennis player who peaked in the state's top 40 ranking for players under the age of 10.[2] Through middle and high school, Bock got more involved in professional acting; a trip to New York City to see Matilda the Musical on Broadway at the age of 12 had inspired her to become an actress.[3]
Bock is currently a student at Northwestern University as a double major in psychology and drama, with a concentration in theater.[4] Britt Lower, an '08 alum of Northwestern University who portrays Helly/Helena in Severance, encouraged her to attend.[2]
Career
[edit]Bock began acting at age five when her mother signed her up for a Winnie the Pooh musical at a children's theater.[5] At the age of 12, she professionally debuted in the North Carolina Theatre production of Annie in 2019.[6] Additionally, she sang a new rendition of "Baby Shark" after getting cast as a voice actor for the Pinkfong Company.[2] During her first year at Northwestern University, Bock starred in a community performance of Seussical.[3] She has also appeared in the Hulu film Bruiser.[7] In addition to acting, Bock also sings and dances.[5]
In January of 2025, Bock, at the age of 18, was introduced in Severance's second season as Miss Huang.[8] Bock had auditioned for the role in 2022 when she was 15.[9] Of her acting performance in the show thus far, executive producer and director Ben Stiller stated: "This wonderful young actress came in and auditioned, and I was just blown away by her. She's got such poise and such intelligence and such sensitivity, and yet also has the ability to put forth this imposing facade, too. She's just been a gift to the show. I love her."[10]
