Biography
Ruth Wilson is an English actress born on 13 January 1982. She built her career on psychologically complex roles that demanded sustained tension and emotional depth—most famously as Alice Morgan, the unblinking serial killer in BBC's Luther (2010–2013, 2019), and as Alison Lockhart in Showtime's The Affair (2014–2018), for which she won a Golden Globe. She also played the title role in Jane Eyre (2006), received BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations, and portrayed Marisa Coulter in BBC/HBO's His Dark Materials (2019–2022), winning the 2020 BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Actress.
On stage, Wilson is a two-time Olivier Award winner—Best Actress for Anna Christie and Best Supporting Actress for A Streetcar Named Desire—and a two-time Tony Award nominee for Constellations and King Lear on Broadway. Her film work spans blockbuster (The Lone Ranger, 2013; Saving Mr. Banks, 2013) and independent cinema (Dark River, 2017; I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, 2016). As an actor, she develops characters through research and psychological inhabitation, working across television, film, and theatre. Born under Capricorn and carrying a life-path number 7, she embodies the archetype of the introspective investigator—drawn to roles that explore moral ambiguity and inner contradiction.
