Olivia d'Abo

d'Abo is an actress I associate with quiet versatility rather than a single signature role. To many she's Karen, the rebellious older sister on The Wonder Years, but I'm more drawn to her chilling turn as Nicole Wallace on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, a recurring villain who genuinely unsettled me. Add Jane in The Legend of Tarzan and a singing career, and you get a performer who refuses to be boxed in. London-born and steadily working across film, television, and voice, she's the sort of dependable talent the industry quietly relies on. I always enjoy spotting her name turn up unexpectedly in a cast.
