Jodie Comer is an Emmy-winning British actress who has earned acclaim for her roles across stage, television, and film productions. She gained widespread recognition for her role as a flamboyant assassin in the series Killing Eve. Comer also made the lead stage role of Tessa, a high-powered defense attorney in the legal drama Prima Facie, famous before the theatrical work was adapted into a feature film.
Comer expands her acting repertoire in the horror musical romance film Stuffed, starring as Araminta alongside Harry Melling's Bernie. The story follows an offbeat romantic bond formed through animal preservation, showcasing Comer's vocal abilities as she belts out original tunes. To prepare for the role and grasp the mindset of her character, Comer took a real-life taxidermy class rather than relying solely on prop trickery. The movie debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival.
In addition to her musical work, Comer stars alongside Hugh Jackman in the dark period thriller The Death of Robin Hood, directed by Michael Sarnoski. Playing an ally to an aging, battle-worn Robin Hood in 1247 England, Comer filmed the feature entirely on location in Northern Ireland. The ensemble project also features actors including Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe.
