<b>Few</b> characters can be as evil and even a little perverted as Villanelle played by Judy Comer in "Kill Eve", but they are wildly sought after by fans.
The most charming villain, the sexiest "pervert"! From the day Judy Comer and Villanelle's characters merged into one, another shining star was born on the screen.
Judy Comer is a British actress born on 11 March 1993 in Liverpool, England.
To this day, Judy Comer, who has become internationally renowned, still lives in Liverpool after filming, accompanying her family.
Judy's father was a physical therapist at Everton Football Club and her mother worked in the transport sector.
Judy attended St Julie's Catholic High School in Liverpool as a teenager. Once she attended a school talent show and gave a monologue performance on stage. Her performance caught the attention of the drama teacher, who encouraged Judy to audition for the role on BBC Radio Four, which later became her first acting job.
In 2008, 15-year-old Judy started her television career in 2008, when she starred in the "Royal Family" spin-off series "Royalty Today". She has since starred in several series including City of Holby, The Healer's Heart, Silent Testimony, Emergency Room, Law & Order( UK), Vera and Detective George Jentley.
After that, Judy began to play the lead role in several episodes, including the five-episode miniseries Justice, the supernatural miniseries Don't Forget Me, and the hilarious episode Diary of Fatty Ray.
In 2015, Judy was offered the opportunity to appear in the BBC-one TV film Mrs. Chatellas' Lover. That year she also played the role of Kate in the BBC series Doctor Foxter.
In 2016, Comer starred in the BBC Three miniseries Lost Thirteen Years, in which she played a girl who had been imprisoned in a cellar for thirteen years. The series premiered on 28 February 2016 on BBC 3. At the London Film Festival that same year, Camer was included in the list of "Rising Stars on the International Screen".
Although she has starred in many dramas, Judy's acting career in the UK has not been smooth sailing - many roles in the past have not left a particularly deep impression on the audience. It was "The White Princess" and "Killing Eve" that brought her career breakthroughs and twists, pushing her acting career to a new height.
In 2017, Judy starred in the Starz channel episode "The White Princess", in which she played the heroine Queen Elizabeth.
The drama is a sequel to the BBC miniseries The White Queen, based on Filipa Gregory's best-selling novel of the same name: The marriage of Elizabeth, Princess of York, and Henry VII ostensibly unified England, but their personal and political entanglements and the war they sparked once again put Britain in danger of dividing.
In April 2018, Judy welcomed her famed BBC episode Kill Eve, in which she played a somewhat neurotic killer, Villanelle. A special mutual fascination developed between her and the MI5 agents who hunted her down.
Judy's performance in the play won many accolades, with The New Yorker praising the show's "constantly changing tone and tempo" and that "Villanelle's character remains ambiguous and impossibilistic through to all times, thanks to the charm of Comer's capricious, impeccable performance."
In 2019, Judy Comer won the 29th BRITISH ACADEMY Film and Television Arts Best Actress Award for the TV series "Killing Eve"; in September, she won the 71st Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for "Killing Eve".
Now, the third season of "Killing Eve" has just aired the first episode, and the BBC has already renewed the fourth season. When the show aired on the BBC's streaming platform iPlayer, it was the episode with the most "watch requests" launched in 2019.
"Kill Eve" drama executives have also proudly said, "The show has gained a lot at all major awards ceremonies, and it is also the Most Viewed American Drama with the highest rating growth in the past 6 years." ”
Although the female killer Villanelle played by Judy Comer in "Kill Eve" is cruel and murderous, her casual and bold, elf and eccentric style of behavior is completely hateful, and even affectionately called "little pervert" by fans.
Judy herself is very fond of the role of Villanelle, "she has gathered multiple personalities, which can be said to be a combination of several characters." This allows me to diversify in my performances, which no one expected before. I saw flashpoints in her, witty, humorous, and most importantly, found the humanity of the character. I myself have become inseparable from Valenelle, almost one. She's very smart, and I think it's probably because of these traits of hers that they make up for her evil side that people like this character so much. “
Judy revealed that she referenced her personal feelings more when playing the role. "I'm a big person in my usual life, and every little expression of playing this role is acted out according to my preferences, which my mother can testify to." As for the expression of the inner world of this character, it is also based on my personal things. ”
In addition to her elusive personality, Villanelle's bold and changeable style of dressing is also a hot topic of discussion among fans. The whole of "Kill Eve" is simply Villanelle's cross-dress show.
Speaking about Villanelle's style of dressing, Judy can't help but lament that "she is very different from myself", she explains: "She is very bold, which I like. You see I'm dressed very brightly today, but I don't usually dress like this. At first I also found Valenelle's dress very interesting, especially when she needed to get herself out of a place as quickly as possible, in fact, she needed a very low-key dress, but her control in this area was really poor. ”
Although she can't help but complain, Judy still agrees with Villanelle's outfit in the play: "Her style of clothing has her own flavor and runs through the whole plot." She still dresses and is influenced by the city where she lives and her personal mood. If she has any emotions, she will match them accordingly. It can also be seen from her clothing that she is very confident in her clothing, so she can cope with all kinds of occasions. And it also reflects a strong sense of self-expression, because she has no friends around her, so there are no well-dressed people around her who can affect her. ”
Although Villanelle will use all kinds of strange horror methods to kill people, the real-life Judy is a coward who does not dare to watch horror movies, saying that whenever there is a horror scene in the movie, she will stare at a corner of the TV set.
As the actor of the most popular villain role in today's TV drama industry, Judy Comer revealed that her favorite villain role is the child-catching villain in "The Flying Universal Car" (1968), "Even if I am now an adult, watching this movie at Christmas can still scare me enough." 」 Every time I saw the way he walked, I was so nervous. ”
The success of "Kill Eve" not only made Judy Comer popular, but also allowed Hollywood to see the potential of the young actor.
If you're a Star Wars fan, remember that at the end of Star Wars Episode 9, Judy Comer made a cameo appearance as Rey's mother, a character that fans have been discussing for years.
Judy Comer also joined Kenneth Branagh's new version of Massacre on the Nile, paired with Amy Hammer and Gail Gadot.
In the sci-fi action comedy Free Man, Judy plays the heroine, playing against Ryan Reynolds.
In Ridley Scott's new film The Final Duel, Judy will work with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Adam Dreifer.
I believe that after the epidemic, Judy Comer will shine in Hollywood.
