2003–2013: Career beginnings and Neighbours
After a lead role in Pirate Islands,[5] Taylor starred as Rosie Cartwright in The Sleepover Club in 2003. She transitioned to mature audience programs with a guest role on Blue Heelers in 2004. In 2005, Taylor achieved her breakthrough in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. She secured the role of Janae Timmins after previously appearing in a guest role in 2003.[6] Taylor had originally auditioned for the role of Lana Crawford. In 2007, Nell Feeney and Sianoa Smit-McPhee, who play Taylor's on-screen mother Janelle Timmins and sister Bree Timmins, were written out of the serial.[7] Later that year, Taylor quit the serial and partially attributed her departure to the exits of Feeney and Smit-McPhee, stating that the show "just didn't feel like the family that I joined when I started three years ago".[8] Taylor finished filming her last studio scenes in 2007 and her final episode was screened on 8 February 2008. In 2007, she was nominated for Best Female at the Inside Soap Awards. She portrayed Snow White in a Christmas pantomime of Snow White from 19 December 2007 to 6 January 2008 in Weymouth Pavilion, England.[10][11] Later in 2008, she filmed a short drama-comedy movie called The Laundromat.[13] The film premiered in 2010 at Dungog Film Festival. In 2009, she appeared in an episode of All Saints, followed by an appearance in the 2010 pilot of Winners & Losers.[14] In 2011, Taylor filmed a role in the horror film 6 Plots.[15][16] In 2012, Taylor played a nurse in the Australian supernatural horror film, Patrick: Evil Awakens, a remake of the 1978 film of the same name.[17]

2014–2020: The 100
• Illustration — Taylor at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con for The 100 On 1 March 2013, it was announced that Taylor had been cast as lead character Clarke Griffin in the new post-apocalyptic science fiction drama series The 100 on The CW. The series premiered on Wednesday, 19 March 2014.[21] Explaining how she got the part in the series, Taylor said: I didn't actually audition. I'd been living in LA for about a month and my credit card was stolen and all my money was taken – spent at Home Depot, which was great – and I was ready to pack my bags and go back to Australia because I didn't know how I was going to survive in LA any longer and then I got a call from my manager to say that an audition I'd done months ago for a film had been looked at by the producers of this TV show called The 100 and they wanted me to go in for a reading the next day. So I read the script that night and loved it and went in for the meeting the next day and got the role. Before I knew it I was on a plane to Vancouver to shoot the pilot and my whole life changed.[22] In 2014, Taylor starred as Sarah in the thriller film The November Man.[23] For her role in The 100, Taylor was nominated for Choice TV Actress: Sci-Fi/Fantasy at the Teen Choice Awards from 2015 to 2018. In 2017, Taylor starred as Kat Carter/Meredith in a thriller-drama film Thumper.[25] The same year, she starred as Ellen Langford in the Netflix Christmas romantic comedy-drama film Christmas Inheritance.[27]
