Kate Vernon

Kate Vernon navigates the spectrum of television and cinema with a deft touch, from her early role as Lorraine Prescott in the primetime soap opera Falcon Crest to the sardonic Benny Hanson in John Hughes' Pretty in Pink. Her versatility extends to Spike Lee’s Malcolm X, where she portrays Sophia, a supporting character in a film that demands nuance and strength. Vernon’s most notable turn came as Ellen Tigh in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, a role that cemented her status as a character actor capable of commanding screen presence and depth.
