Career

Tingley's first professional role was "Young Joan" in Caryl Churchill's play Far Away for The Black Swan Theatre Company in 2008. Since then she has appeared in a number of films including the short Bootleg, a singing role in the short Light as a Feather, directed by Damien Spiccia, X, directed by Jon Hewitt, and 3 voice-overs for the production Bully for You. She appeared in the television miniseries Cloudstreet based on Tim Winton's novel, in a support role as "Young Hat Lamb".

In 2011, she played the lead as a deaf girl, in the short film Beneath the Waves by director Renee Marie. This role required Freya to learn sign language.

In 2012, Tingley was cast in Hemlock Grove, the Netflix series produced by Eli Roth in which she plays Christina Wendall.[1][2]

In 2013, Tingley was cast in Once Upon a Time as Wendy, a 13-year-old girl based on the heroine Wendy Darling from the novel Peter Pan.[3] Tingley won the part of Wendy after one audition upon impressing producers with her ability to project a British accent. Wendy was only seen in a number of episodes and helped Peter Pan (Robbie Kay) gain Henry's heart. However, she is then reunited with her family. In 2014, Tingley had the lead role in The Choking Game, a movie made for Lifetime.

Tingley also played Francine Valli in Jersey Boys, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Tingley then starred in the 2016 TV series The Wilding and the film No Way to Live, which centers on an interracial teenage couple in the 1950s robbing and stealing to escape their oppressive town.
