My Take
Katy O'Brian is one of the most exciting actors to watch right now, and her martial arts background is a big reason why. From the Imperial officer Elia Kane in The Mandalorian to her ferociously physical turn as a bodybuilder in Love Lies Bleeding, plus appearances in Ant-Man and Mission: Impossible, she keeps landing roles that demand strength and authenticity. An Indiana University grad who is also a real fighter, she brings a credibility to action that you simply cannot fake. I love performers who train the body and mind, not just the image, and I suspect her biggest roles are still ahead.
