Katie Amess Biography – Katie Amess Wiki
Katie Amess born Katherine Louise Diana Amess is an English actress and model. She has been featured in many British television commercials and has had several film and television roles. In 2016, she appeared in the film Captain America: Civil War. In 2017, she played Kendall Nagel in Bull on CBS and Sandy Weeks in Criminal Minds Beyond Borders Season 2 also on CBS.
In 2013, she signed on to play a lead in the musical parody Miserable Lesbians in New York and Edinburgh. The show was adapted from the Oscar-winning Les Misérables and attracted global attention due to the issues of homosexual marriage and sex equality it raised. Amess reprised her role of Courgette (aka Cosette) from an earlier 2013 short-film version in support of homosexual rights of Miserable Lesbians for the “Toscars” at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood which saw the film sweep the boards, winning 8 out of 10 awards presented by Eric Roberts. She publicly criticized her father’s stance on same-sex marriage after producing that film.
She was cast as Lulu in William Friedkin’s version of Harold Pinter’s The Birthday Party at The Geffen Playhouse alongside Tim Roth, Steven Berkoff, David O’Hara, Frances Barber, and Nick Ullett. She went on to play Ulcie in the closing week of Rolin Jones’ These Paper Bullets at the same theatre in 2015.
She played Brenda Dixon in Ray Cooney’s Cash on Delivery, alongside Cooney himself in December 2015. The performance received positive reviews: “The ensemble [..] under Cooney’s keen direction are all great […] Katie Amess as Norman’s innocent, confused fiancee Brenda. There is not a flaw, not a missed cue. No one stands above anyone else. Cooney as the director has gleaned a perfect sense of timing from the entire cast”. “The equally looks-blessed Meire, Arcilla, and Amess prove themselves all three expert comediennes […] Amess’s delightful but dim Brenda match[es] the male costars every step of the way”.
Katie played Sandy Weeks in Criminal Minds Beyond Borders and Heather on the 5th of July opposite Jaleel White. She appeared as Ulcie at The Geffen Playhouse in Rolin Jones & Jackson Gay’s These Paper Bullets. In 2014, Katie was cast as Lulu in William Friedkin’s ‘The Birthday Party’ at the Geffen Playhouse opposite Tim Roth, Frances Barber, and Stephen Berkoff.
