Siobhan Redmond

Actor · Born July 27, 1959 (67) · Glasgow, Scotland, UK

The second-eldest of three sisters, Siobhan Redmond started acting in a wacky British TV comedy sketch called Alfresco (1983) (1982/1983), co-starring with Robbie Coltrane, Hugh Laurie, Ben Elton & Stephen Fry, among others. Her best-known role is "Detective Sgt. Mo Connell" in the police series, Between the Lines (1992) (aka "Inside the Line"), filmed in 1992/1993/1994. She is a very accomplished classical actress who has acted in many theater plays (like "Look Back in Anger" that followed a world tour in 1990, with Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson), and some other roles in movies as well.

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.
