Louise Lombard
演员
Louise Lombard lived and breathed the arts from an early age, and
projected extreme versatility in many arenas. A trained dancer and
actress from childhood, Lombard displayed a remarkable predilection for
emotionally and psychologically challenging characters. After
appearing in the BBC series Casualty and Bergerac, the ITV show Capital
City, and the ITV movies Catherine Cookson's A Black Velvet Gown, and
Perfect Scoundrels: Sweeter Than Wine, Lombard landed a leading role in
the TV series Chancer, opposite Clive Owen. Lombard then broke through
to national fame in 1991, with the lead role of Evangeline Eliott in
the three-season House of Eliott series on the BBC. For the remainder
of the 1990s, Lombard sought out a series of highly individualized and
intelligent projects, including taking the role of Lady Macbeth in a
BBC production of Macbeth, Elizabeth Gill's 1997 ensemble drama Gold in
the Streets and the ITV series Bodyguards (as one of the toughs of the
title). After two years as a literature student at Cambridge University
(as well as studying photography and print work at St. Martin's
College), Lombard spent the first few years of the new millennium
branching out into more internationally oriented roles, including After
the Rain (a harrowing story set in South Africa during apartheid) Ellen
Brachman in the movie Claim (2000), and the role of Kath in My Kingdom
(2001), a highly modernized adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear with
Richard Harris. American viewers, however, will most closely associate
Lombard with the romantic lead of Lady Anne Davenport in the Viggo
Mortensen period adventure saga Hidalgo (2004), and the role of Dr.
Harriet Fellows, a physician who assists crash survivor Alec Baldwin,
in the TNT movie Second Nature (2003). In 2004 Louise began the
recurring role of Sophia Curtis in CSI. Louise remained on CSI until
2008, when she left to shoot a TV pilot for ABC, playing the title role
in Judy's got a Gun. Louise then returned to the UK to play the lead
role in the BBC movie, Kiss of Death. She recently played Macy in NCIS
for CBS and Robert Carlyle's dying wife in Stargate Universe.
