Angel Coulby

Making Waves (2004)

Angel Coulby played a medical assistant named Anita on the ITV drama Making Waves, which followed the crew aboard a Royal Navy frigate. Though short-lived, this was actually a really interesting series, and Coulby had a nice romantic arc with one of the lead characters.

Hustle (2006)

Now here’s a chance to see Gwen in a way you never thought you would! Coulby guest stars in the episode “A Bollywood Dream” as Alice… and that picture says it all, really. Watch this if at all possible! There’s an epic Bollywood sequence as well.

Dancing on the Edge (2013)

Angel Coulby will soon be appearing on an episode of Dancing on the Edge, an intriguing new period drama starringDoctor Who’s Jenna-Louise Coleman. It takes place in the 1930s, following a black jazz band trying to make it in London. But their struggles to reach the top end in tragedy when their lead singer Jessie (Coulby) is murdered. While we’ll be sad to lose the character before we’ve even got a chance to know her, we can’t wait to see Angel Coulby on this show! Hopefully they’ll have flashbacks, and she can come back.

Katie McGrath

The Tudors (2008)

This is a bit of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance, but how could we not mention one of Katie McGrath’s first roles, the part which arguably launched her acting career? Merlin fans will be familiar with her story of starting as a costume assistant before being discovered and landing a part in front of the camera – in this case sharing a very steamy scene with Johathan Rhys-Meyers’ King Henry. She appeared as Bess in the episode “His Majesty’s Pleasure,” and it is exactly what it sounds like. Merlin fans who have grown up with the show may be ready to move on to more mature medieval dramas like The Tudors and Game of Thrones, but do so at your own discretion.

A Princess for Christmas (2011)

Not only is this movie perfect for this time of year, but it is also one of the most adorable things we have ever seen. Katie McGrath plays Jules, an American (!) girl who works in an antique shop and tries to make ends meet for her young niece and nephew whom she took in after their parents died. But when the children’s surprising relative Edward, the Duke of Castlebury (played by Roger Moore), shows up and invites them for Christmas, Jules has to learn to make peace with the people she felt abandoned her brother-in-law’s children and help the grumpy Duke to rediscover the magic of Christmas – all the while falling in love with the haughty Ashton, her sister’s husband’s brother. A Princess for Christmas will make you forget all about Morgana’s evil smirks – McGrath’s bright smiles are as infectious as this movie is lovely.

Labyrinth (2012)

While this miniseries has not been made available in many countries yet, we bet that a lot of you will want to get your hands on it! Based on Kate Mosse’s brilliant book by the same name, Labyrinth not only stars McGrath but also Harry Potter’s Tom Felton, Once Upon a Time’s Sebastian Stan, and quite a few other actors you may recognise from Merlin (including John Hurt and John Lynch). The book is fantastic, the story is very original and compelling – and in the adaptation series McGrath channels her Morgana for the role of Oriane, the opportunistic sister of one of the lead characters, and she does a fantastic job with the role.
