Rachel Skarsten

Rachel Skarsten fascinates me for her range. The Toronto-born, Queen's University-educated actress can play regal restraint as Elizabeth I in Reign one moment and unhinged menace as Alice in Batwoman the next, and she's magnetic in both registers. I have a soft spot for performers who make villainy impossible to look away from, and her Alice is a masterclass in that. Canadian actors often carry a quiet steeliness, and she may be the sharpest example I can name. I'm genuinely curious to see which signature role she claims next, because the talent clearly outpaces the fame.
