British Actresses You Should Know: Jodie Comer

British actress Jodie Comer is one of the buzziest stars in Hollywood right now. She picked up her first Emmy for her ferociously bold performance on Killing Eve, but for those Anglophiles in the know her turn as the female assassin Villanelle was hardly her first great small-screen role.

Comer is immensely talented, particular at playing dark, layered characters, and at making them feel like real, sympathetic people rather than simply evil stereotypes. She’s also probably been in a surprising number of things you’ve probably already seen, perhaps without knowing it or recognizing who she was at the time. (Looking at you, all of y’all who watched The White Princess or Doctor Foster.) Comer’s been at this game for a long time, has been consistently wonderful and utterly deserves every bit of the success that has finally come her way.

Here are a few of Comer’s most interesting and complex roles. (It’s impossible to pick a favorite, so these are in roughly chronological order.)

Remember Me. Longtime PBS viewers will likely remember the ghost story Remember Me because it featured Monty Python star Michael Palin in the lead role and this series marked his return to doing television that wasn’t a travelogue or comedy sketch. But it also features Comer as a young girl named Hannah, the care home assistant of Palin’s character Tom.

Hannah begins to suspect something strange is going on when patients start dying violently after Tom arrives in her care and she starts having disturbing dreams. Has Tom brought something else with him into the retirement home? Something much darker?
