Jodie Comer
Jodie Comer (/ˈkoʊmər/ KOH-mər; born 11 March 1993) is an English actress of screen and stage. Her accolades include two British Academy Television Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Tony Award, a Laurence Olivier Award, and two nominations for a Golden Globe Award.
Comer gained recognition for appearing in the series My Mad Fat Diary (2013–2015) and Doctor Foster (2015–2017), and starred in the drama miniseries Thirteen (2016). From 2018 to 2022, Comer played sociopathic assassin Villanelle in the BBC America spy thriller television series Killing Eve, winning a BAFTA Television Award and a Primetime Emmy Award. For playing Sarah, a healthcare assistant, in the television film Help (2021), she won another BAFTA Television Award.
Following a successful television career, Comer transitioned to major film roles. She has appeared in the action comedy film Free Guy (2021), historical drama The Last Duel (2021), The Bikeriders (2023), the environmental thriller The End We Start From (2023) and horror film 28 Years Later (2025). In 2022, Comer made her West End theatre debut in Suzie Miller's one-woman play Prima Facie, which earned her an Evening Standard Theatre Award and a Laurence Olivier Award. The play transferred to Broadway in 2023 to similar acclaim.
Comer was born in Liverpool on 11 March 1993, the daughter of Merseyrail employee Donna and Everton FC physiotherapist James Comer. She has a younger brother named Charlie, born in 1995. Comer grew up in Liverpool's Childwall suburb and attended St Julie's Catholic High School in its neighbouring Woolton suburb, where she became close friends with future Olympic athlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson.
At the age of 11, she started acting at a weekend drama school called CALS in the Belle Vale area of Liverpool. Through CALS, Comer entered the Liverpool Performing Arts Festival in 2006 at St George's Hall and came first in her category after performing a monologue about the Hillsborough disaster.
While in high school, Comer's friends removed her from their dance group when a holiday with her family clashed with rehearsals for the school's talent show, prompting her to instead perform her Hillsborough disaster monologue for the show. Although she did not win, her performance prompted her drama teacher to call in a favour from friends in the entertainment industry, allowing her to audition for a BBC Radio 4 play. This became her first acting job, with her co-stars advising her to get an agent and telling her that she could have a successful acting career.
Comer's career began in 2008 with a guest role on an episode of The Royal Today. In 2010, she made her theatre debut in the play The Price of Everything, directed by Noreen Kershaw, at the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Comer then made minor appearances in several television series (see table below). She was cast in leading roles in the drama series Justice (2011), the supernatural miniseries Remember Me (2014), and as Chloe Gemell in the E4 comedy-drama series My Mad Fat Diary (2013–2015). Comer appeared in the 2015 adaptation of Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928), a television film broadcast on BBC One. The same year, she played Kate Parks in the BBC One drama series Doctor Foster (2015–2017).
Her first starring role was in 2016 as Ivy Moxam in the BBC Three miniseries Thirteen, which earned her a nomination for the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress. In November 2016, she appeared in the BBC One miniseries Rillington Place as Beryl Evans, one of serial killer John Christie's victims. The same year, 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 One miniseries The White Queen (2013). Also in 2017, Comer made her feature film debut, as Christine in the Morrissey biographical drama England Is Mine, directed by Mark Gill.
