Bio
Elaine Cassidy is an Irish actress best known for her starring television roles as Abby Mills in the horror series Harper's Island and as Katherine Glendenning in the period dram The Paradise.
Her first starring role was as Pinocchio in the school play when she was five, and she had regular jobs from the age of 13, but her big break came at 18 in Felicia's Journey where she starred in the title role opposite Bob Hoskins.
Her exacting criteria have led to the role of Runt in Disco Pigs, which netted her the award of Ireland's Best Actress in 2003; a mute servant in The Others with Nicole Kidman; with Bob Hoskins again in The Lost World; Hitler's young niece and lover Geli in Uncle Adolf; and Fingersmith.
She is married to actor Stephen Lord, whom she met on the set of The Truth.
