Actor: Evangeline Lilly

Evangeline Lilly was cast in Lost with almost no acting experience and spent six seasons as Kate, which made her internationally famous before she had made a film.

The Hobbit films gave her Tauriel, a character invented for the adaptation, and the Ant-Man films gave her Hope van Dyne, who was promised the suit at the end of the first film and got it in the second.

The Hurt Locker is the small serious credit, appearing briefly as the wife.

She has published a children’s book series and has been publicly outspoken on several issues in ways that have generated controversy.
