Liz Fenning

Actor · Born August 6, 1984 (42)

With classic beauty, a quirky mind, and a deep poetic soul, Elisabeth Anne Celeste Fenning or "Liz" for short, was always destined to become a force on stage and screen. Although if you ask her, she would strongly disagree. As a child, she suffered from a stutter and severe shyness, with her attention on her initial passions of horses and literature. In her teens, she decided to attempt acting as a means to combat her social anxiety. Her natural skill was undeniable, and soon she found herself accepted into Carnegie Mellon University, where she honed her craft and solidified her path towards becoming a professional actress. Upon graduation she decided to move to Los Angeles. After arriving in the city, Liz would soon work with the late writer and director Pearry Teo, who prophesied to her that her roles would most likely come from tapping into the "parts of herself that she didn't like", because that's where she truly shines. This revelation would launch Liz into a new era of her career. Liz's natural ability for suspenseful or dark storytelling has since booked her ongoing leading roles in the mystery and thriller film genres such as My Terrorized Teen (2021) Demise (2024) and Naughty List of Mr Scrooge (2024). It also led to her casting as "Young Sister Imperator", a central character depicted in the music and videos from the Swedish rock band "Ghost" since 2018. In 2025, Ghost launched a comic book series with Liz's same character and likeness, canonizing her permanently in their expanding narrative universe. Liz Fenning's passion and depth continues to shine in new roles, demonstrating her incredible range, and building her resume with equal measures of comedic and dramatic characters, as well as heroic and villainous. Her captivating presence, deep emotional well, and mastery of subtlety and nuance consistently makes her one to watch.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
