Greenwood's big breakthrough came in 2006 when at age 14 she starred as Penny Philips opposite Helen Mirren in Prime Suspect The Final Act, the two-part conclusion to ITV's long-running series.[1] Critics praised her work in the drama, with David Bianculli of the New York Daily News writing, "The scenes she shares with Mirren are nothing short of phenomenal,"[2] and Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times calling her "thoroughly impressive."[3]

Before her breakthrough, Greenwood had already participated in two ITV productions, the children's series My Life as a Popat and the drama Walk Away and I Stumble. She also had small roles in notable film productions The Brothers Grimm and V for Vendetta.

In 2008 she appeared in the ITV soap opera Echo Beach.[4] She also made minor appearances as a fictionalized version of herself in Echo Beach's sister series, Moving Wallpaper.

Greenwood also appeared in Messiah V as Leah Wallace, broadcast on BBC One in January 2008. As well as this, she would appear in another BBC-produced series, playing the one-time role of Jessica in HolbyBlue.[5] Currently, she has recently completed filming the leading role of Charlotte in the film Pinprick, directed by Daniel Young.
