Wallis Day (born 20 September 1994) is an English actress and former model. She is known for playing Holly Cunningham in the soap opera Hollyoaks, Nyssa-Vex in the TV series Krypton, and Kate Kane in the second season of the TV series Batwoman.
Wallis Day was born on 20 September 1994 in London, England and raised in Ilford. Her father was educated in the University of Oxford, and her mother at the University of Cambridge. Day has stated that she came from "a very normal family with very normal jobs" as none of her family had ties to the entertainment industry. When five years old, she became passionate about acting after being taken to see ballets by her father, and joined Stagecoach Theatre Arts at the same age. During her formative years, Day and her family frequently moved house; in 12 years, Day studied in 11 different schools. Day attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School, and later the Arts Educational Schools (ArtsEd).
Day signed on to the modelling agency Models 1 at the age of 13, and was the youngest in the agency for three years. She has stated that she started modelling "to save up to go to drama school". During her tenure as a model, Day modelled for Garnier, Superdry and Nike among others. At 16, she quit modelling to pursue a career in acting. One of her earliest screen appearances was in a commercial for Nintendo 3DS, where she is seen playing Super Mario 3D Land. When she was 19, she landed her first film role as Lucy in Between Two Worlds in 2016. Day's first television role was Holly Cunningham in the British soap opera Hollyoaks from 2012 to 2013.
