Sylvia Hoeks (born 1 June 1983) is a Dutch actress.

During high school she was scouted by Elite models, and she started travelling as a model all around Europe for a couple of years. After finishing high school she attended the Maastricht Theatre Academy.

Right after graduation she made her national breakthrough with the Jos Stelling film Duska (2007). She won a Golden Calf (the Dutch equivalent of the Oscars) at the annual Netherlands Film Festival.

In 2011, Sylvia was presented at the Berlinale as Shooting Star, a unique Pan European initiative which puts a spotlight on Europe’s best actors.

Her international breakthrough in 2012 was after working with the Oscar-winning director Giuseppe Tornatore in his film The Best Offer starring opposite Geoffrey Rush.

She has recently been cast in Blade Runner 2049, directed by Denis Villeneuve.
