Delia Cornelius

Delia Cornelius is a Cape Town-based actress and model with a background in brand and graphic design — a decade of understanding how stories land on audiences, now applied entirely to screen performance. Formally trained under Frank Pereira at The Studio Acting School, she holds a screen credit as Ashley Scott in 911: Did the Killer Call, has appeared as an action extra on Netflix's One Piece Season 3, and is currently writing and starring in her own original short film for the Zesty 2-Minute Film Festival. She is represented by Sotera Creative Management for commercial modelling work. Fully fluent in English and Afrikaans, with strong American and British RP accents, Delia brings physical range — a blue belt in Tang Soo Do, running, weight lifting, horseback riding and yoga practice — alongside a deep commitment to character work. She is drawn to complex, interior women: characters who hide things, want things fiercely, and surprise you.
