Jodie Marie Comer (born 11 March 1993) is an English actress. She is best known for her role as Russian assassin Oksana Astankova / Villanelle in the BBC America thriller series Killing Eve (2018–present), for which she won the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress and the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and for her roles as Chloe Gemell in the E4 comedy-drama series My Mad Fat Diary (2013) and Elizabeth of York in the Starz miniseries The White Princess (2017).
Early life
Jodie Marie Comer[1] was born in Liverpool on 11 March 1993,[2][3] and grew up in the suburb of Childwall.[4] Her father is a sports massage therapist for Everton FC, while her mother works for Merseytravel. Comer came to the attention of her drama teacher at St. Julie's Catholic High School in Woolton after she was kicked out of a dance group by her friends due to being unable to attend rehearsals during a family holiday, and instead performed a monologue for the school talent show. Her drama teacher then sent her to audition for a BBC Radio 4 play, which became her first acting job. Her co-stars in the play told her that she could make a career out of acting and advised her to get an agent.[5][6][7] While pursuing an acting career, she took jobs such as collecting glasses in a bar and working at the checkout in a Tesco supermarket.[8]
Career
Comer's professional career began in 2008 with a guest role on an episode of The Royal Today, a spin-off series of the medical drama series The Royal. She then made appearances in series such as Holby City, Doctors, Silent Witness, Casualty, Law & Order: UK, Vera, and Inspector George Gently. She was cast in leading roles in the five-episode drama series Justice, the supernatural miniseries Remember Me, and as Chloe Gemell in the E4 comedy-drama series My Mad Fat Diary. Comer appeared in the 2015 adaptation of Lady Chatterley's Lover, a television film broadcast on BBC One. That same year, she appeared as Kate Parks in the BBC One drama series Doctor Foster and was cast in her first starring role as Ivy Moxam in the BBC Three miniseries Thirteen, which premiered in February 2016 and earned her a nomination for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress. In December 2016, she appeared in the BBC miniseries Rillington Place.[5] In 2016, Comer was listed as one of Screen International's "Stars of Tomorrow" in association with the BFI London Film Festival. In 2017, she starred as a young Elizabeth of York in The White Princess on Starz, a sequel to the BBC miniseries The White Queen.[9] In 2017, she also appeared in her first feature film, as Christine in the Morrissey biopic England is Mine.
In April 2018, Comer began starring in the BBC America spy thriller series Killing Eve as Oksana Astankova / Villanelle, a psychopathic Russian assassin who develops a mutual obsession with Eve Polastri, the MI6 agent tasked with pursuing her.[10] The series had already been renewed for a second season before its premiere.[10] Jia Tolentino wrote in The New Yorker that, in the context of the show's "constant reversals in tone and rhythm", the "ambiguity—and impossibility—of Villanelle's character has worked (through the first season) thanks to Comer's mercurial, unassailable charisma".[11] The second season of Killing Eve premiered in April 2019.[12] Comer won the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Villanelle. Due to her Killing Eve character swapping seamlessly between different accents from around the world as part of her various disguises, much attention has been given to Comer's natural Liverpool accent and the surprise of viewers who hear it for the first time.[13]
In June 2018, Comer was one of the actresses in a series of BBC Four monologues called Snatches: Moments From Women's Lives, inspired by events that took place in the century since women first won the vote. Comer appeared in the episode "Bovril Pam", where she portrayed a secretary in 1960s Liverpool exploring her sexuality.[14] Comer was ranked No. 94 on the Radio Times "TV 100" list for 2018.[15] In November 2018, The Hollywood Reporter included her in their "Next Gen Talent 2018: Hollywood's Rising Young Stars" list.[16] In December 2018, it was announced Comer had been cast in the action comedy film Free Guy, which began filming in May 2019.[17][18] In April 2019, Comer was asked about upcoming work during her Happy Sad Confused podcast interview and revealed that she had been forced to pull out of Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile due to scheduling conflicts.[19]
A few days after her Emmy win, it was announced that Comer would be the face of the Loewe spring/summer 2020 fashion campaign, which saw her star in a short film for the brand that consisted of her repeating the brand's name with different emotions.[20]
Public image
In December, Vogue UK included her in their list of "The Most Influential Girls of 2018",[21] and in February 2019 Forbes included her in their annual "30 under 30" list for being in the top 30 most influential people in Europe under the age of 30.[22]
Charity work
Comer is a supporter of Tyred, a UK road safety charity campaigning to outlaw old tyres on coaches.[23]
