1 | * AwesomeDearBoy: She was apparently super excited about the very elaborate way she [[spoiler:got eaten]] in ''Film/JurassicWorld'', as well as getting to do her own stunts for that scene. |
2 | * TheDanza: She plays a woman named Kate in ''{{Series/Dates}}''. |
3 | * DyeHard: She's naturally blonde but is brunette in most of her roles, except ''{{Series/Dracula|2013}}''. She had to dye it brown for ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}'' initially, overlapping with DyeingForYourArt. |
4 | * FakeAmerican: As Jules Daly in ''A Princess For Christmas'', Gloria Miller in ''The Throwaways'', Sarah Bennet in ''Slasher'' and Lena Luthor in ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}''. |
5 | * FakeBrit: |
6 | ** Morgana is a debatable example. She's British by birth but Katie uses her natural Irish accent. |
7 | ** Lucy Westenra in ''{{Series/Dracula|2013}}'' sees her adopting a full on English accent. |
8 | ** Zara in ''Film/JurassicWorld'' is also said to be British, though she doesn't have that many lines so it can be easy to miss. |
9 | ** Saskia in Secret Bridesmaids Business. |
10 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: It's not really noticeable unless the viewer themselves is British or Irish, but that minor Irish twang frequently rears its head whenever she's trying to adopt a foreign (read: American) accent. She's pretty good at sticking to RP, though. |
11 | * PlayingAgainstType: |
12 | ** ''Film/APrincessForChristmas'' as a lower class American aunt who falls for a prince. Jules is notably sweeter than Katie's usual AloofDarkHairedGirl roles. |
13 | ** ''The Throwaways'' has her as an ActionGirl spy. |
14 | * PlayingWithCharacterType: She inverts her role on ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}'' in ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}''. In the former she was the evil scheming sister of a benevolent prince, trying to seize power from him. In the latter she's the sister of a notorious villain and inherits his empire naturally, trying to prove to everyone that she is not the villain. |
15 | * PromotedFanboy: |
16 | ** Initially as a history nerd to roles in period dramas, especially since DVD bonuses reveal her favorite character of the legend of Arthur is Morgan le Fey. |
17 | ** From superhero nerd to recurring role as Supergirl's best friend. |
18 | * StarMakingRole: |
19 | ** Needless to say, ''Merlin'' gave her some very immediate success as an actress and she's been working steadily ever since. Her character Zara in ''Film/JurassicWorld'' is a massive EnsembleDarkhorse, leading to a new level of attention for her as well. |
20 | ** In the US, it's probably as Lena in ''Series/Supergirl2015''. |
21 | * ThoseTwoActors: |
22 | ** She's been seduced by Jonathan Rhys Myers both in an episode of ''Series/TheTudors'' and ''{{Series/Dracula|2013}}''. |
23 | ** She's played the sister of Emilia Fox in both ''{{Series/Merlin|2008}}'' and the miniseries ''The Queen'' (not [[Film/TheQueen that one]]). |
24 | * TypeCasting: |
25 | ** Usually as an aloof, often evil, upper class lady in period pieces. Overlaps with CastTheExpert since she studied history at Trinity College - the most prestigious university in Ireland. |
26 | --> "I guess I'm just more realistic in a corset and funny hairstyles." |
27 | ** She also tends to get cast as villains or morally grey characters |
28 | ** She has a reputation for playing lesbian characters, although in reality she has only played 3 in her career. |
29 | ** Katie herself says that most of her roles (Morgana, Lena, Kate and Lucy) are spoiled little rich girls rebelling against their parents. |
