'''Katherine "Katie" McGrath''' (born 24 October 1983) is an Irish actress best known for playing Morgana in the BBC series ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' and [[The House of Windsor|Princess Margaret]] in the 2009 TV docu-drama series ''The Queen''. She has also appeared in ''[[The Tudors]]'' and the horror film ''[[Red Mist]]'' (or ''Freakdog'' as it was titled in the US.)
Originally, she worked behind-the-scenes as a wardrobe assistant on ''[[The Tudors]]''. She was then tapped to be an extra in one scene, and... The rest may well be history, depending on how her career goes.

* [[Actor Shipping]]: Mostly with [[Colin Morgan]], as many ''[[Merlin]]'' fans have taken a liking to [[Foe Yay|Merlin/Morgana]], especially since season 3. She's often shipped with Bradley James, as well.
* [[Blue Blood]]: Not in real life, but her rather aristocratically pale good looks seem to make her a natural choice for such roles, to the extent that she has already played ''two'' British princesses (''The Queen'', ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'') and a Viscountess (''W.E.'').
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Naturally fair haired, but dyed her hair dark for ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]''.
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Her speciality. She hasn't actually played an Irish chararacter since ''The Roaring Twenties''.
** [[Fake American]]: Jules Daly in ''A Princess for Christmas''.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Looks quite a lot like [[Jennifer Connelly]] in ''Creation''
* [[Mistaken Nationality]]: She's Irish but because she works on British TV and her accent isn't familiar outside Ireland a lot of people think she's British.
* [[
* [[Not Even Bothering
* [[One of Us]]: She has cheerfully confessed many times that's she's a huge fantasy and sci-fi geek, even going so far as to say that her favourite thing about the [[Merlin (TV series)|Morgana]] action figure is that it is exactly the right size to fit in her toy ''[[Star Wars|Millennium Falcon]]''.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: She is best known for playing morally ambigous/outright evil British aristocrats but ''A Princess for Christmas'' sees her playing a lower middle class American heroine.
* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Her defining facial expression as Morgana, at least in later episodes of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]''.
* [[Shiny Midnight Black]]: Her hair, at least in ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'', though see [[Dyeing for Your Art]] above.
* [[Star
* [[What the Hell Is That Accent?]]: No one ''inside'' Ireland would mistake her accent for anything other than an Irish one (a slightly posh Wicklow/South County Dublin one to be specific), but since that accent is nearly totally unknown ''outside'' Ireland it is has left more than a few foreigners a bit puzzled.
