Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Annie Murphy into the ol’ VCR.
On December 19, 1986, Anne Murphy was born, but you probably know her better as Annie Murphy.
Annie Murphy was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada.
I couldn’t find a lot of info about her childhood/teen years, but like many of the other subjects of our spotlights, she acted in high school productions.
Annie Murphy would go on to graduate from the Theatre Performance Program at Concordia University, and then train at the Canadian Film Centre Actors’ Conservatory.
Her first film was a made-for-TV movie in 2007 called Lethal Obsession, and, over the next few years, Annie Murphy would continue to land small roles in various Canadian and American films and TV shows.
Then, in 2013, Annie Murphy landed the iconic role of Alexis Rose on a little show called Schitt’s Creek.
In my research, I actually found that her house burned down right before her audition, and she was about to give up on acting forever when she booked Schitt’s Creek, and it makes me love and respect her even more.
Since then, her career has been on the rise, including starring roles in episodes of Black Mirror, landing the lead role in Kevin Can F**k Himself, and a recurring role on the second season of Russian Doll.
Additionally, I didn’t know where to put this factoid, but Annie Murphy has a silhouette of Jimmy Stewart tattooed on her wrist because she considers his performance in Harvey to be one of her big influences.
There’s not much more that I can say about Annie Murphy that hasn’t already been said.
Annie, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
