Kate Vernon/Ellen Saul #1: Because she was one manipulative "Cylon"
Thought it was about time that Ellen got a thread :D
She was first introduced to us as the gregarious wife of Saul Tigh. Then the startling revelation of her true identity was made. Now a known member of the Final Five, Ellen's role in Cylon-human interaction is crucial. With her cunning wit and diehard spirit, she never ceases to amaze us. And now, as the series prepares for its end, we are at Ellen's mercy, anxiously waiting to find out what the future will hold for her, the Final Five and humanity.
Kate Vernon, currently portraying the manipulative Ellen Tigh on Battlestar Galactica, was born in Canada. Her father, character actor John Vernon, best known for his role as Dean Wormer in Animal House, moved the family to Hollywood when she was 7 years old. Vernon has said that since she was raised in an arts-oriented family in Los Angeles, testing the "acting" waters came natural. As a child, with acting, she found tremendous joy in having a safe and creative channel for her energies and ideas.
To date, Vernon's work includes guest-starring and recurring roles on Nash Bridges, Who's the Boss, LA Law, and Hunter, among others. And she has starred in numerous television films on the USA, Showtime, Hallmark, HBO and Lifetime cable channels.
Vernon has also had the extreme pleasure of working with such great actors as Denzel Washington in Malcom X, James Spader in Pretty in Pink, Tony Curtis, Ian McShane, Dick van Dyke, Lou Diamond Phillips, and directors Spike Lee, John Woo, Howie Deutch, and Mimi Leder.
She currently resides in Los Angeles with her daughter, loves meeting fans of Battlestar Galactica and continues to pursue more film and television projects. |
