MiniBio

Katie McGrath is an actress who was born in Ashford, County Wicklow, Ireland. She went to St. Andrew’s College for her early education and later earned a degree in history from Trinity College, Dublin, with a particular emphasis on Russian history. Interestingly, McGrath initially had ambitions of working in fashion journalism and even landed a position at Image magazine. However, she eventually shifted her focus to the entertainment industry by working as a wardrobe assistant on the provocative medieval series The Tudors (Showtime, 2007–2010).

It was during her time on The Tudors that a colleague suggested she might have a future in acting. Taking that advice to heart, Katie decided to give it a shot and sent her headshot to several Irish talent agencies. It wasn’t long before opportunities began to arise. She landed roles in a variety of notable projects, including the five-part docudrama The Queen (Channel 4, 2009), which portrayed Queen Elizabeth II, the fantasy series Merlin (BBC One, 2008–2012), and Madonna’s polarizing film W.E. (2011), which centered around Wallis Simpson.

Katie later reunited with The Tudors co-star Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the short-lived NBC vampire series Dracula (2013–), and continued to build her career with a small but impactful role in the blockbuster hit Jurassic World (2015). Her most prolific year to date came in 2017, when she starred in Guy Ritchie’s action-packed King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), took on the role of Lena Luthor—sister of the infamous Lex Luthor—in the popular TV series Supergirl (The CW, 2016–), and appeared in the Canadian-American historical drama Frontier (Discovery Channel Canada, 2017–). Through it all, Katie McGrath has continued to demonstrate her versatility and growing presence in both film and television.

Trivia

Katie McGrath is best known for her role in Jurassic World (2015), which happens to be her highest-rated film to date. On the flip side, one of her earlier performances was in Freakdog (2008), a movie that didn’t receive quite as much acclaim. While Katie McGrath has been part of several projects over the years, these two films stand out as the high and low points in terms of critical reception.

Actress Film Television

A young Canadian actress named Kacey Rohl appeared to burst onto the entertainment scene almost out of nowhere in 2010, making her mark with appearances in no fewer than six different television productions that year. Among these, she had supporting roles in two Lifetime television movies—*"The Client List"* and *"Bond of Silence"*—while also showing up in episodes of four separate sci-fi or fantasy series. Of those, one of the more well-known was the dramatic series *"Caprica,"* a spin-off of *"Battlestar Galactica,"* and the popular show *"Fringe,"* in which she portrayed the sister of a man struggling with extraordinary mental abilities. The year following, Kacey Rohl made her debut on the big screen with a supporting role in the dark and emotionally charged fairy tale *"Red Riding Hood,"* which starred Amanda Seyfried, Virginia Madsen, and Gary Oldman. Then, after a guest spot on the youth-targeted horror anthology *"R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour,"* she landed a recurring role in the acclaimed mystery drama *"The Killing"* as Sterling Fitch. This particular opportunity was especially convenient for Rohl, given that part of the filming took place near her hometown of Vancouver. Clearly, Rohl wasn’t one to take a break, even with her packed schedule. In addition to all of this, she also appeared in Canadian productions such as *"Sunflower Hour,"* a comedic satire poking fun at children's television, and the lighthearted series *"Sisters & Brothers."*

Country Singer

The country singer, known for her authentic storytelling and heartfelt lyrics, made a big splash in the music scene after finishing 7th on *Nashville Star* back in 2007. Though she didn’t win the competition, it was just the beginning for her. Fast forward to 2013, and she released her critically acclaimed debut album, *Same Trailer Different Park*, which went on to win a Grammy—proving that her talent was undeniable. That same year, the country music world took even greater notice when she was honored as New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards. Her success continued into 2014 when “Follow Your Arrow,” a song she co-wrote with Shane McAnally and Brandy Clark, took home the Song of the Year award at the CMAs. The track became an anthem for individuality and solidified her reputation as a bold, honest voice in country music. Before all the awards and spotlight, though, she was already hard at work. She independently released three albums prior to her appearance on *Nashville Star*, showcasing early dedication to her craft. Songs like “Apologize” and “See You Again” helped build her foundation and connect with fans long before mainstream fame found her. Born in the small town of Alba, Texas, she grew up with strong roots and a close-knit family, including a younger sister who’s been part of her journey behind the scenes. In December 2016, she got engaged to musician Ruston Kelly—a moment that delighted fans. They tied the knot in October 2017, but unfortunately, the couple announced their separation in 2020, with both sharing heartfelt messages about mutual respect and growth. Later on, she found love again with poet and writer Cole Schafer. The two reportedly met at a crowded restaurant, sparking what seemed like a quiet but meaningful connection. However, by early 2024, news emerged that they had gone their separate ways. Through every chapter—music milestones, personal highs, and public heartbreaks—she’s remained a resilient and influential figure in modern country music.
