Lily Riley
Lily is one of the strongest women in Australia, and her story is as powerful as she is. Lily is an elite powerlifter who was at her peak when she was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney cancer with a 12cm tumor in 2020. Now a cancer survivor, squatting 272.5kg, with a 235kg deadlift and a 120kg bench press, "The Edge" is her acting debut, and her role is equally powerful. Casting went on a nationwide search to find a legitimate, Indigenous female powerlifter, and Lily, as a competitive athlete and proud Wiradjuri woman, could not believe the similarities between her and her character. Now entering the world of Film and TV, Lily is proud to bring strong, authentic female characters to life.
