Some fans may not recognize Laniado’s name, and that’s because she is just 15 years old and relatively new on the scene. So far, her biggest acting credit is as Lady Rose in the recently-releasedRobert Downey Jr.Dolittlefilm, but she also appeared inA Christmas Carolon FX. Appearing inThe Witcherseason 2 should only help her career, as the first season was the second-most watched TV series on Netflix for all of 2019.
