Dichen Lachman

Dichen made such an impression on a soap opera producer that, instead of getting the part she auditioned for, they created an entirely new character for her!

Yes, she has that effect on people!
Even when doing schlock like Aztec Rex, Dichen makes watching it worthwhile.
Luckily, most of her work has been in quality genre productions like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., DollHouse and Torchwood: Miracle Day.
She's currently appearing as Roulette on Supergirl!

Indira Varma

It's fascinating how many British actresses are appearing in US tv series, usually using very-well done American accents.
Not Indira Varma.
She may do upper-crust. She may do Cockney. She may do Desi. But she doesn't do American.
She does do a helluva lot of genre, though!
From her current stint on Game of Thrones to several major BBC sci-fi and detective series, Indira's made herself known both for her acting versatility and her sheer on-screen presence, including tastefully-done nude scenes in the cable series Rome and feature film Kama Sutra: a Tale of Love. (Hey, I'm only human!)

Genre appearances include...
Game of Thrones (Ellaria Sand)
World Without End [2012] (Mattie Wise)

Human Target (Ilsa Pucci)

Quatermass Experiment[2005] (Judith Carroon)

Inspector Lynley Mysteries "In the Blink of an Eye"

Bones "Yanks in the UK"

Law & Order: Criminal Intent "Assassin"

Basic Instinct 2 (Denise Glass)

Torchwood (Suzie Costello)

Luther (Zoe Luther)

Hustle (DCI Lucy Britford)

Freema Agyeman

Going from Doctor Who to Dickens and back again was a snap for award-winning actress Freema Agyeman.
She started on the British soap opera CrossRoads, movied on to guest-star roles on prime-time series, and landed the role of the Tenth Doctor Who's companion (after guest starring as another character) all within a four-year span!
Talk about meteoric!
In addition, she appeared in the acclaimed BBC production of Charles Dickens' Little Doritt (as Tattycoram) and a remake of the 1970s post-apocalyptic tv series Survivors!
She's also done Doctor Who and Torchwood audiobooks and animation voice work (on Doctor Who: The Infinite Quest).
Currently, she's starring as Crown Prosecutor / Solictor Advocate Alesha Phillips (equivalent to an American assistant district attorney) on Law & Order: UK. but it's a fair bet she'll show up somewhere in the Whoverse before too long...
Trivia: Freema is a spokesperson for Divine Chocolate, an ethical corporation that helps Ghanaian cocoa farmers make a fair living.

Genre appearances include...
Law & Order: UK
(Crown Prosecutor and Solicitor Advocate Alesha Phillips)
Survivors [2008] (Jenny Walsh)
Bizarre ER (Narrator)
Doctor Who / Torchwood / Infinite Quest
(Dr Martha Jones-Smith / Adeola Oshodi [Martha's cousin])
The Bill (Shakira Washington)
Silent Witness (Mary Odgen)
