Katie Cassidy has had some excellent roles in television in her career so far and it doesn’t look like she will be slowing down any time soon. She comes from great stock, being a member of the talented acting family the Cassidy’s. Although she is a Cassidy, the daughter of actor/musician David Cassidy and model Sherry Williams, she stands out and has made it on her very own merit.
One of the first TV roles that comes to mind is the character Ruby in the third season of the hit show Supernatural. Soon after she played Trish Wellington in the Horror-Drama Harper’s Island. She also had a great stint on Gossip Girl, playing the character Juliet Sharp. But her best known role to date is probably that of resident bad girl Ella Simms on Melrose Place.
Miss Cassidy brought Ella Simms to life, and made her an instant fan favorite. In playing Ella, Katie showed she could not only portray a witty vixen, but also show vulnerability. She completely held her own with actress Heather Locklear’s character Amanda.
Katie has a knack for playing multi-layered, complicated characters. It will be exciting to see where her career in television goes next.
